This episode features Golden Globe- and multiple Tony Award-winning actor Brian Dennehy (as M.P. Ernie Connors) in one of his earliest credited screen roles.
Most of the M*A*S*H* episodes feature two stories. This episode featured four stories: the souvenirs, the Korean vase, Margaret's ring, and Klinger's pole sitting.
Brian Denehy plays an MP in this episode. In First Blood he plays a character (although not brought up in the film, but in the book) was a Korean War veteran. This added to the animosity between the two characters.
