Allusions and References
Amos and Peter visit a movie memorabilia store owned by the murder victim's daughter, played by Christine Elise. As they're waiting for her, Amos admires a movie poster for the 1953 film "The War of the Worlds" and mentions that it's one of his favorite films. He also wonders aloud 'Whatever happened to the fellow who starred in that?', as the camera focuses to the part of the poster which reads...'Starring Gene Barry'!
