About 20 mins in, Mannix goes see a blonde woman who is crying. The close-ups reveal that Mike Connors is wearing very obvious coral lipstick and matching blush, heavily applied. When the camera cuts to the woman, she is wearing pale lipstick with a touch of the same coral lipstick, applied in the center of her bottom lip, only. This makes it appear as if they had kissed and Mannix's lipstick had smeared her lips. Then, a flashback cuts to the plane crash scene, and the same woman is wearing the exact same coral stain, still in the center of her bottom lip. Coral was a very popular color of lipstick back in the '70s, when not many shades were yet available.
