- TriviaIn the personnel office Buzz gives his social security number as 100-20-0853. Based on the the three number prefix and the standard at the time the number would have been issued in New York State (where his character is from). The second 2 digits are the Group number. Based on issuing standards at the time a valid number with group number of 20 would not have issued for more than 50 years in the future. Group numbers had only odd number prefixes from 11 to 99. After 2011 social security numbers are randomly issued. The Social Security Administration eliminates numbers that have been publicly used, so the number 100-20-0853 will never be issued.
- GoofsAs they drive up to Spring Grove, parked on the right are a dark early '50s coupe, a light colored sedan, and a white over contrasting color delivery van. When the view changes to inside the Corvette, the first car changes to a light colored late '50s car, the next is probably a 1961 Chevrolet convertible, a car in front of it, and then a black delivery van.

The Story Of Mental Illness Everyone Needs To Hear
Nina Foch as Lillian Aldrich was outstanding in this episode of a woman's struggle to adjust to life after 18 years in a mental hospital. Buz unwittingly gives her the first big test and with this she fails. Oscar winner James Dunn, although in a limited role showed why he deserves the respect as a great actor. Isa Davison as the nurse and Jean Muir as the employment counselor also gave powerful performances. The writing for this one was brilliant as usual for Route 66 and George Maharis and Martin Milner showed the great humanity in their acting. After Lillian's brutal scene with her daughter Marharis, Martin, and Foch gave the most powerful scene in this series. In helping us understand a person's struggle with mental illness "A Bridge Across Five Days" succeeds dramatically.
