    • Trivia

      ADD TRIVIA
      • Stock footage of the audience is used when Julie is singing, giving the appearance she is on a big stage in Las Vegas. Starting with episode eleven, this footage appears at the beginning of the show's opening credits, after Bill Bixby pulls the red foulard off the cage to reveal a big cat inside. Edit

    • Notes

      ADD NOTES
      • Julie Carter (Amanda McBroom) sings two songs during this episode, "If We Only Have Love" and "Sing Me a Happy Song." Apparently, both were written especially for this episode. Edit
      • At the beginning of the show we see landmarks of Las Vegas (at that time): Stardust, Circus Circus, Thunderbird, Flamingo, Frontier, Caesar's Palace Edit
      • "Sing me a Happy Song," less the vocals of Amanda Mcbroom, was also used at the beginning of episode five ("Ovation for Murder") as background music while Tony is rehearsing Mark Wilson's "Train" version of "Sawing a Lady in Two" for his show at the Los Angeles Fairgrounds. Edit

      ADD QUOTES
      • Marquee on Caesar's Palace: ANTHONY BLAKE, WORLD'S GREATEST ILLUSIONIST, INTRODUCING JULIE CARTER Edit
      • Lt. Cocoran: Mr. Blake, I think you understand that our policy on kidnapping and ransom is that we usually recommend payment. Edit
      • Tony: ( entering Julie Carter's dressing room) Julie, it's Tony. And if you're not decent, tough luck! Edit

    • Allusions

      ADD ALLUSIONS
      • Las Vegas: Quick weddings
        An indication that Las Vegas was a marriage mill even then: when Tony Blake answers a call at a phone booth we can see the sign behind him: "Cupid's Wedding Chapel!" Edit
      • Tony Blake: S'allright!
        A reference to ventriloquist Senior Wences during the Topsy-Turvy illusion. Edit
