I've been watching Savage Sunday (#28) over the last few days. The music in this show is very annoying. You would expect at the beginning when the guerrillas are breaking into the armory that the music would be tense, even militaristic. At the beginning, it starts out like it's going in that direction, but then becomes very cheerful ... in fact, this same perky music is used at the end of #39, Bored She Hung Herself, as the lead character frolics in the surf! These "perky" themes are heard several times throughout Savage Sunday. I like the way the guerrilla leader and his wife at the end are convinced they are going to have a boy ... I doubt if they had an ultrasound treatment to determine this, even though ultrasound was in use in the mid-60's.
I was also watching #26, Forty Feet High, and It Kills. Sabrina Scharf plays the daughter of the kidnapped geneticist (played by Will Geer of The Waltons fame) and she is totally hot (though not as hot as Barbara Luna in the second season opener)! I wonder whatever happened to Scharf (any relation to composer Walter, who scored two episodes, including #238, A Death in the Family)? According to some Internet snooping, she may be a real estate developer in the Los Angeles area.
In this episode there is a little goof. Chin Ho radios a license plate number from one of Wo Fat's henchmen which McGarrett and the team use to track the car through Honolulu. But the number which Chin reported is not the same as the one on the car, seen reflected in Kono's rear-view mirror!
Speaking of license plates, any idea why the plates on Five-O cars in this episode have white lettering on a greenish background, whereas the license plates on cars on the street have black type on an orange background? The white/green combination makes me think of military license plates for some reason -- or maybe all cop cars/emergency vehicles in Hawaii were distinguished this way. Does anyone know?
