YMMV / The Private Eyes

• Aluminum Christmas Trees: One example that highlights the Artistic License – Gun Safety of the plot: a gunsmith named John Hall actually invented a "clock gun" in 1902 - but his design aimed to be a high-tech scarecrow and looked the part, and definitely was not supposed to be a personal weapon.
• Informed Attribute: Some synopses of the film describe Grace Zabriskie's Nanny character as a Nazi; however, aside from speaking with a German accent and a newspaper mentioning a "Close Watch For Nazis", this is never explicitly referred to in the film.
• Retroactive Recognition: That's Abraham Lincoln as the gas station attendant who asks for Winship and Tart's autographs. Also, Eliza Vorez, the Hag of Hackett's Quarry was a nanny.
