Trivia
Jack Cassidy, who stars in this episode, died in a fire in his condominium on December 12th 1976. He had been dead for several months when this episode aired in 1977.

Goofs
Towards the end, a New Scotland Yard policeman holds a M-16. The M-16 is an American military weapon and would not have been used by British police in 1977. Rather, if British special weapons police were to use a military weapon, it would have been the L1A1 (the British version of the Fabrique Nationale FAL) that the Royal Army was using in the 1970s.

Quotes
Sam McCloud: You know, Chief, eh... sometimes when you rope a calf it, eh, it takes you by surprise and almost jerks you right outta the saddle to leave a, a rope burn right across the palm of your hand, you know what I mean?
Chief Peter Clifford: No, I don't know what you mean, but the next time I'm in a a rodeo I'll try to keep it in mind!

Wonderful series and episode

I remind that wonderful TV show when I watched it, in my childhood. But maybe not this very episode, that permits me to see the late Jack Cassidy, escaped from his nearly usual Columbo épisodes. Here, his character reminds me too the one he had facing Peter Falk. I love this early seventies atmosphere, with Dennis Weaver and JD Cannon. I am happy and lucky to watch this whole series soon, during the year. And the épisodes are long enough, as the Columbo ones were. Plots may, this way, be fully explained, in deep way enough for the audiences. I won't repeat this one already done in the plot line above. But, believe me, it's really worth watching, for nostalgia gem diggers. I will certainly be back to comment more épisodes.
