* Erica Rogers also appears in Episode #10 "The Golden Journey", #41 "Lida" and #71 "The Old Treasure Story"
* Warren Stanhope also appears in Episodes #15 "Judith", #100 "Invitation to Danger" and #112 "Where the Money Is"
* Frank Olegario also appears in Episode #16 "Teresa"
* Steven Scott also appears in Episode #79 "The Man Who Liked Lions"
* This episode is rather unusual in the kind of storytelling - Simon talks a lot to the audience.
* The New-York-set of Simon's apartment is the same as in Episode #3 "The Careful Terrorist"
*
It seems like the aforementioned
set was refitted as Joss' appartment. Look for the placement of doors and
windows (ca. 0:04 and 0:15).
* There is some confusion about the dates mentioned in the episode. Let's assume that the year is 1962 when Joss receives Ryan's telegram. Simon tells us that Ryan and Tiltman set off on their expedition 3 years earlier. That makes 1959. But when Tiltman explains Templar the background of the pearls of Santa Domingo he says that the oyster beds were destroyed in 1939 and it took 25 years to rebuild. That's 1964 then! Huh?
*
Notice the "Hotel Perla" in Santa Domingo - it will reappear on the Costa Brava in Episode #10 "The Golden Journey". The footage was also used in Episode #16 "Teresa" (ca. 0:07)
*
The set of the bar was also used in Episode #10 "The Golden Journey".
*
Why doesn't Tiltman take his weapon with him after knocking down Ryan? He would just have to take one step
to the left (ca. 0:14).
*
Why are there no decoration chains
at the door when the Saint enters Consuelo's house (ca. 0:24)? They are
later where they should be when Joss enters it (ca. 0:35).
* Dina Paisner is named "Consuela" in the Carlton DVD-subtitles. She's obviously called "Consuelo" in the episode and in the credits.
