• Miscellaneous: The reception room at Dr. Fleming's office features a distinctive painting of trees and white houses with red roofs, which is prominent in several scenes. This same painting later appears in "Columbo: Suitable for Framing (#1.4)" (1971), as part of the art collection sliced and stolen by Dale Kingston. In its return appearance, this painting is also part of a goof because it magically mends itself and returns to the wall, after it was vandalized and removed.
  
  
• Factual errors: Near the end, when the receptionist tries to call Miss Hudson from Dr. Flemming's office, she dials only six numbers.
  
  
• Revealing mistakes: When Dr Flemming is strangling his wife, he is directly behind her, the top of her head at his eye level and her hair almost touching his face. But in the closeups of his face during the struggle she isn't in the shot.
