Masks revisited

I recently pulled out my Batman (1966) DVD's. I watched the two part pilot episode with Frank Gorshin as the Riddler. I forgot about the part where he captures Robin and made a mask of his face so Jill St. John (gasp!) could impersonate Robin. The extras stated this episode was filmed between the 15th October and 12th November 1965.
At nearly the same time, the pilot episode of Mission: Impossible was filmed between 8th and 28th December 1965 (Patrick White's Mission: Impossible Dossier). Masked impersonations must have been all the rage among Hollywood script writers at the time?!

That's interesting and kind of cool to know. But tracking down this kind of minutiae must be tedious, Klondike.
Doesn't that take the fun out of it? Like Sheldon Cooper would do?

Who's Sheldon Cooper?

Sheldon Cooper was the main character on the tv series The Big Bang Theory. The character was a VERY smart scientist who from his behavior was probably on the autism spectrum (I'd guess that he had Asperger's Syndrome).

I believe (or at least I hope) that Lima was giving you a compliment, Klondike.
