Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaColonel Hogan (Bob Crane) tells Kommandant Klink (Werner Klemperer) the cuckoo clock in his office is a Hammelburg (Germany) antique clock. A cuckoo clock is a typically pendulum-regulated clock that strikes the hours with a sound like a common cuckoo's call and has an automated cuckoo bird that moves with each note. It is thought that much of its development and evolution was made in the Black Forest area in southwestern Germany.
- GoofsThe cuckoo clock in Klink's office is missing the chains, weights and pendulum necessary for the clock to operate. One weight drives the cuckoo function.
- Quotes
Col. Wilhelm Klink: Now, is there anything I can get you, General, before you go to sleep - perhaps a glass of warm milk?
General der Infanterie Albert Burkhalter: Warm milk?
Col. Wilhelm Klink: Ah, I always have a glass before bedtime makes me sleep like a baby.
General der Infanterie Albert Burkhalter: Take my word, Klink, this is no time to be a sound sleeper.
Col. Wilhelm Klink: Oh, I appreciate your concern, General, but I can assure you, you need not worry about my life being in danger.
General der Infanterie Albert Burkhalter: I'm not worried about your life. If they get you, I am next.
Klink has just purchased a tourist cuckoo clock but Hogan tells him that the clock is an rare antique and offers Klink one hundred dollars for the clock. Klink, who only paid about ten dollars for the clock, tells Hogan that he can get his hands on some more of the rare clocks. He will then send a clock to antique dealers around western Europe to get the clock appraised. Hogan now has a way to get info out of the camp.
There is not much to this story that was a cause for interest. The script seemed dull compared to others as the only funny scenes involved Burkhalter hearing a ticking sound coming from the guest room. This is one of those times that the script was in need of some help.
