Goldfield Delivers a Good Episode

This episode was a surprise and a complete delight. The location shots in this one featured the old gold mining town of Goldfield, NV. Particularly noteworthy is the marvelous Classical Revival-styled Goldfield Hotel, dating from 1908. Goldfield was a mining boom town early in the 20th Century with 20,000 residents, but the boom went bust and the town quickly fell to a population of under 1,000 by the 1920's. Many buildings from the early years remain and are largely unused to this day, including the 150-room Goldfield Hotel. The hotel has been closed to business since the 1940's.

The exterior of the hotel was used to excellent advantage in the episode. The exciting action also seemingly includes some great interior shots, but Hollywood being what it is, I cannot vouch that the actual interior was used, but it sure is convincing.

In addition, the prolific character actor Douglas Fowley has a meaty role as the old timer. This is a good episode!

Quotes
[first lines]
Rod Blake: Oh, hello. I'm Rod Blake, chief investigator for the Nevada state troopers. If you're ever big game hunting and you come across tracks like these, you can be pretty sure you're on a cold trail - a few million years cold. These are dinosaur footprints - the real thing. These particular ones are well-preserved in the yard of the Nevada state penitentiary here in Carson City. They're responsible for a saying among the prisoners, "When a man's in, he's riding the dinosaur." I got this from an old man who'd been riding the monster for ten years. He said this was going to be his last ride and I believed him. Whether I should have or not is the point of a story called "Room Service for 321".
