Robert Vaughn would go onto star as Napoleon Solo in the NBC spy drama The Man from UNCLE.
This episode is based on the Ed McBain novel of the same name.
This episode is the only one which features a character based on the novels' wiliest and most frequent villain. Here in this episode the character is called Sordo but in the novels he is referred to only as the Deaf Man. Yul Brynner played the Sordo/Deaf Man character in the poorly received 1972 film Fuzz.
The storyline in this episode where a group of robbers tunnel their way into a bank vault bears some similarity to an episode of The Untouchables entitled Globe of Death.
Weird, no one has discussed 87th Precinct yet.
