Season 4, Episodes 24-26

Finishing off Season 4 with some fun minutiae.

Greer Window (4-24)

The office building across from the Smarts' apartment could be anywhere, but as a New Yorker my first thought was 655 Third Avenue, at 42nd Street.

 

What do you think?

 

Otto Greer's bookshelf has some law books from 1937, some volumes of the Encyclopedia Brittanica, and of course The Double Door, a play written by Elizabeth McFadden that ran on Broadway in 1933, and was made into a motion picture the following year.

 

The Not-So-Great Escape, Part I (4-25)

One again we get some action at Washington National Airport.

 

The stylized sombrero poster is really cool, but I couldn't find another image of it.

 

I did find the Rome poster, however.

 

We also see a Jamer Ball Point Pen Dispenser.

 

Here's one up close.

 

Though the scene takes place in Washington, that's a Los Angeles phone book in the booth.

 

Here's a similar phone book from the era, with the same map of the L.A. area.

 

When the Chief comes with Max to the airport they stand in front of a spinner rack of paperbacks.

 

Extollager at the SF&F Chronicles message board identified the book directly behind the Chief as God's Warrior by Frank P. Slaughter, published in 1967.

 

Next to that book we see the 1965 edition Catharyn Elwood's Feel Like a Million.

 

After cutting to the KAOS agents for a few seconds, we return to Max and the Chief. This time, the books have all been turned backwards.

 

The rest of the two-part episode takes place at Camp Gitchee Goomee Noonee Wawa. Not much to show from there, except for the car Max arrives in.

 

It is the 1934 Mercedes Benz W31 regularly used in Hogan's Heroes, which has since been restored and resides in the Wheatcroft Collection in the UK.
