Episode Cast and Crew Details »

• During HH's 2nd attempt to perform "To Be Or Not To Be," the set door he enters in clearly falls off its hinges just before a quick cut to the captive audience. After the cut back, the door behind him is intact and closed. [edit]

• This is the only Gilligan's Island episode that had two directors. Ida Lupino injured her foot on set in the middle of the shoot. George Cahan was brought in and finished the episode on schedule. [edit]
• Theme of episode: As Shakespeare himself said, "Love all, trust a few." [edit]
• The casting for the Hamlet musical is thus:
  
  Gilligan: Hamlet
  Ginger: Ophelia
  Mr. Howell: Claudius
  Mrs. Howell: Gertrude
  Skipper: Polonius
  Mary Ann: Laertes
  Professor: Narrator (?) and record player operator [edit]

• Hecuba: The castaways try to impress producer Harold Hecuba by performing Hamlet. Hecuba was a mythological figure mentioned in Hamlet's second scene of Act II. [edit]
• Gilligan (as Hamlet): "Hide any place... but, don't go near the water!"
  After hearing the approach of her father and brother, Ophelia claims she must be not be found with Hamlet and must hide. She questions Hamlet where she should conceal herself. Hamlet's reply, in this condensed retelling, is to hide anywhere but not to go near the water. This is a clever in gag since Ophelia meets her demise in Hamlet by drowning. [edit]
