Actor-Shared Background: Paige gushes about the 1930s aesthetic; her actress is a big fan of that time period too, collecting memorabilia for Marlene Dietrich and Shirley Temple.
Dawson Casting: Bug Hall was nineteen playing the Magic School student Eddie Mullen. But since Paige's assistant in "Cheaper By the Coven" says he's twenty-one (and she refers to him as a student), it's possible Magic School has older students.
Executive Meddling: The WB were initially unsure about having so many black and white sequences, fearing they would alienate viewers. The producers and writers had to appeal to convince them they were vital to the episode's theme.
General Trivia:
The plot of two characters being pulled into the world of a Film Noir novel and having to solve a crime to find their way out would recur in an episode of Warehouse 13 a little over a decade later. It even involves another character turning out to be someone else who was pulled in, and with a tragic reason for wanting to stay there and keep the story from ending.
