Trivia
This has a very similar story line to Laura (1944).

Goofs
At Miguel's house, where Mannix has been lured, the oval mirror on the wall next to the entrance door moves when Mannix closes the door, revealing it is a set. Furthermore, even though almost every light is on, including the outside light, the light switches by the door are both down, which normally means OFF. Again, revealing this to be a set.

Quotes
Lyle Kilburn: This may look like a country club, Mr. Mannix, but when you're shut up in here, you know it's a prison.
Joe Mannix: You seem to be taking it well, Mr. Kilburn.
Lyle Kilburn: Not getting a lot of sleep lately.
Joe Mannix: Why not?
Lyle Kilburn: My partner's murder. I hear the police think it was a burglar. There are a lot of burglars in here. One of them probably has an ice pick with my name on it.
Joe Mannix: Are you telling me that you believe Mark Bradford was a contract hit?
Lyle Kilburn: A contract with two names on it, Mr. Mannix, Mark Bradford's and mine. The syndicate wants Bradford Hotels International.
Joe Mannix: And Bradford wouldn't deal?
Lyle Kilburn: Neither would I. See, the hotels were more than property to Mark. They were his life. I understood that. I'm not certain he would've chosen to die for them. I know damn well I don't want to.
Joe Mannix: I take it you don't have the same sentiments for the hotels that your partner did?
Lyle Kilburn: No, not really.
Joe Mannix: Then you would sell, right?
Lyle Kilburn: No, Bradford Hotels International is not going to become a worldwide laundry for their tainted money. I gave Mark my solemn word when they made their offer.
Joe Mannix: I'd say you have a problem.

Boring

This episode was just annoying. My biggest complaint was the constant adulation slathered all over Carol Britton (Rosemary Forsyth). Joe spent the first half of the episode talking about her and mooning over her, which got pretty sickening after a while. And when he actually met her, he acted like a love-struck teenager. Everyone kept saying she was young and beautiful. No offense to Rosemary but she's pretty average looking, and not a great actress either. I had her pegged to be at least 40; I was surprised to find she was only 31, which made it even worse, because Mannix was old enough to be her Father. They really miscast this part. Sorry for the rant; the "romance" was just embarrassing, and completely overshadowed the actual story which was pretty boring.
