Did you know
- TriviaThe marquee for the Pink Motel is shown at 11 minutes; this was a children's book printed ~ 1959, an actual hotel off Rt 5, a film produced ~ 1982, and the scene of frequent film locations since then.
- GoofsAs everyone was looking for some negatives of photographs taken in 1963, Private Investigator Charlie Garrett (Wayne Rogers) stated that he received them in an envelope bearing a postmark of November 25, 1963. That was the day of John F Kennedy's funeral in which then president Johnson proclaimed across the country, schools, businesses, and government offices closed in observance of the day of mourning. This included the post office which could not have produced a cancellation for that date.
- Quotes
Charlie Garrett: Then why would he have moved to Coral City in the first place? And then why would he have stayed all those years?
Police Chief Thurman Gillis: Pardon me. Did it ever occur to you that he might have just plain liked the place?
Charlie Garrett: No, not really.

Featured review
It seems like a Harry McGraw episode...but without Harry!
During the first few seasons of "Murder, She Wrote", Jerry Orbach played a recurring character, a scuzzy private eye named 'Harry McGraw'. Now, in season 9, you have an episode that seems exactly like a Harry McGraw episode....but with Wayne Rogers playing a different but very similar private detective.
In this episode, someone is looking for some photographic negatives. Why? Because they apparently show Lee Harvey Oswald, the JFK murderer, a few days before the killing....and other folks in the photo apparently want them because the photo might prove embarrassing. In the process, a visiting private eye is beaten up and his room searched as well as the rooms of at least two other people. Where all this leads, you'll need to see for yourself.
Perhaps it's just me, but an episode about the supposed conspiracy to kill Kennedy seems a bit distasteful. Also, there's a badly airbrushed or photoshopped picture of Oswald and you have a show that isn't among season 9's best....as well as a very stereotypical police chief who is, at best, an idiot. As a result, the show is disappointing to say the least.
