Venetia Stevenson is the daughter of Robert Stevenson, who directed 7 episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, but not this one.
Six years later, Murray Hamilton would work with Burt Reynolds again on the latter's series Hawk (1966) in the episode The Theory of the Innocent Bystander (1966). Although Hamilton had had guest roles on Gunsmoke (1955), none of them included Reynolds in his regular character on the show, Quint Asper. Perhaps Hamilton's most memorable film role would eventually be as the mayor in Jaws (1975), not involving Reynolds, although Hamilton's character does interact with another memorable character named Quint in that film.
