Trivia
When Stuart asks Delphine De Janville for a picture of her missing niece Audrey Kenniston, Madame De Janville picks up a few pictures. Looking at the first picture without her reading glasses, she says, "This isn't Audrey, surely"; using her reading glasses, she and the TV viewers see a picture of football star Frank Gifford.

Goofs
When Marta clandestinely places her handbag on the floor, she places it to her right side. When Sebastian later spots the handbag, it is on her left side.

Quotes
Delphine De Janville: Well you certainly didn't have to be somebody who got involved in a hidden tomb and murder. We don't do things like that in the Kenniston family, dear.
Audrey Kenniston: To each his own, Aunt Delphine. You collect husbands, I'll collect tombs and murders.
Delphine De Janville: That wasn't kind, Audrey. That wasn't kind at all. But speakin' of husbands, I'm leaving Armand, and his chuckers, and his temper. I'm givin' up men. I may never marry again... not for months.

On An Evening In Roma

Stu Bailey is taking a little R&R in Europe after an assignment when he receives a request to look for a missing daughter from her family. As Rome was his old stamping ground during his OSS days Efrem Zimbalist is happy to do it and he's uniquely qualified. Of course this story never got near Rome during the filming.

Zimbalist runs into an old friend from those days, Ray Danton who is involved with the disappearance. The girl played by Louise Fletcher is an art student and is over her head with a smuggling racket involving art objects. The head of the racket is Al Ruscio, a most dangerous man.

Young Bart Braverman is also in the cast, a most resourceful street urchin who gives Zimbalist some needed assistance.

It ain't the real Rome, but it's a good story.
