* RiddleForTheAges: Why does Indy have a beard in 1950? The [[WatsonianVersusDoylist Doylist]] explanation is that Harrison Ford had grown a beard for the filming of ''Film/TheFugitive'', and had he shaved it off for this episode, there would not have been time for him to grow it back for the filming of the parts of that movie in which his character has a beard. No Watsonian explanation is forthcoming, although since ''Film/IndianaJonesAndTheKingdomOfTheCrystalSkull'' came out, it has been theorised that Indy's beard could be a BeardOfSorrow, as it is established in that film that Henry Jones Snr. and Marcus Brody had both died prior to 1957.

* FightingIrish: O'Bannion, an Irish mobster whose front business is a florist. He captures Indy, Eliot and Ernie at the warehouse but ultimately decides they're not worth killing (presumably because he knows that ''he'' didn't kill Colosimo, so the boys don't pose a threat to him).

* DeadpanSnarker: Ernie, even when faced with the prospect of death. Heck, this is ''Ernest Hemingway'' we're talking about here.
--> '''O'Bannion''': Roses or Tulips?
--> '''Indy''': Sir?
--> '''O'Bannion''': It's for a funeral. Which would you prefer, Mr Hemingway?
--> '''Ernie''': Well, I'm a sucker for daisies.

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: The dynamic between Eliot Ness and Ernest Hemingway, both of whom have joined up with Indiana Jones to solve a murder mystery, has shades of this.

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: The dynamic between Eliot Ness and Ernest Hemingway, both of whom have joined up with Indiana Jones to solve a murder mystery, has shades of this. The fact that they're approaching the mystery from different angles - Eliot gets involved because he believes in justice, while Ernie's more interested in getting a good story to make his name as a reporter - goes a long way to explaining this.

* OddCouple: The outgoing, adventurous Indy and the studious Eliot have this dynamic going on. Things get better when Eliot (who's studying business administration but would rather have done criminology) takes an interest in the murder mystery, after which much of the tension is between Eliot and Ernie.

'''''Mystery of the Blues''''' is a feature-length TV movie, first broadcast on 13th March 1993 as part of the second season of ''The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles'' [[note]] although it was split into two parts, entitled "Chicago, April 1920" and "Chicago, May 1920", for broadcast in the United Kingdom [[/note]]. Following the re-editing of the whole series into feature-length episodes, it's the twentieth instalment of ''The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones'', although this one remains virtually identical to the original broadcast version. Notably, it is the only ''Young Indiana Jones'' episode to have Creator/HarrisonFord reprise his role as Indiana Jones; here, he's framing the story in the {{Bookends}} which are set in 1950.
