Supposedly playing a teenager in this telecast, Dee Pollock was actually just 6 years younger than David Janssen who was 33 at the time.
The 'four bits' Shirkey, played by Strother Martin, charges for letting people look through the jail window is another way of saying 50 cents, which, adjusted for inflation, would equal approximately $4.64 in the year 2022.
Strother Martin (age 61), Warren Oates (age 53), Woodrow Parfrey (age 61), and David Janssen (age 48) all died within a couple of years of one another and all at relatively young ages.
Adjusted for inflation, the $1.50 that Shirkey's tavern charges for the '45-cent special' it serves the prisoners would equal approximately $14 in the year 2022. The 45 cents would equal approximately $4.18.
This is the second of three appearances Woodrow Parfrey makes in the series, the other two occurring in World's End (1964) and Three Cheers for Little Boy Blue (1965).
