The opening shot of Vienna is at the Maria-Theresien-Platz, a public square linking the city park (Stadtpark) to several museums and spots of interest. The center statue is Maria Theresa, the only female ruler of the Hapsburg royal family.

The gilded statue of a violinist at 0:39 on the DVD is Johann Strauss II (1825-1899).

The building at 0:43 on the DVD is Valtice Castle in the Czech Republic. It stands in for the Belvedere Palace in this episode, home of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his family in Vienna.

The statue at 0:50 on the DVD is of Archduke Charles of Austria (1771-1847) on the Heldenplatz.

The building at 1:32 on the DVD is Carls Church (Karlskirche).

When Indy shares horse riding lessons with several children, including Princess Sophie, he is instantly smitten with her. Sophie tells him her father calls her Pinky. This was her actual nickname. Sophie lived from 1901-1990.

At 4:26 on the DVD, the Wiener Riesenrad Ferris wheel at the Prater is seen in the background. The garden scenes here were actually shot at Letnice Castle in the Czech Republic. The Ferris wheel was digitally added to the background. Indy indicates to Sophie that he rode the Ferris wheel on his second day in Vienna.

Princess Sophie's governess, Emilie, is a fictitious character as far as I can tell, though Sophie did have a governess as a child. The actress playing Emilie is Pernilla August, who went on to play the mother of Anakin Skywalker, Shmi Skywalker, in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace.

When Indy entices Sophie into going ice skating, saying no one will even notice that they're gone, he says, "Trust me." Indy later uses those words with Marion Ravenwood in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

At 9:02 on the DVD, the Archbishop's Palace in Prague, Czech Republic stands in for the American ambassador's residence where the Jones' stay in Vienna.

Anna still wears a locket that her husband gave to her when they were courting.

The poem that Miss Seymour has Indy read after he's forbidden to see Princess Sophie again is "What Means This, When I Lie Alone?" by Thomas Wyatt (1503-1542). The full poem is below:

The second poem Indy reads, which he picks out himself, is "Love's Philosophy" by Percy Bysshe Shelley, published in 1819.

When Indy asks Miss Seymour if she thinks he's in love, she responds, "We all fall in love, Henry. Some of us too soon. And some of us too late." Miss Seymour may be speaking of herself here. We are given no indication through the course of the series that she was ever married or had been in love. In The Titanic Adventure, she tells the flatterer Colonel Osmond Gilbert about her past marriage prospects, "I fear I have been too particular. None of all who asked me ever won my heart."

That night, Anna tucks Indy into bed, he complaining that he can't sleep and wants to keep reading poetry. She puts aside the book and turns out the light, singing "A Paper of Pins". But the song did not exist with the lyrics she sings until the 1930s.

The outdoor market where Indy shops for a gift for Sophie was shot at the Old Town Square in Prague.

As Indy rushes away from the man who gives him a 10 schilling note for helping him to win at the cups and balls con game in the marketplace, he hurriedly shouts, "Danke!" Danke is German for "thanks".

The work of art Indy sees in a window at 21:18 on the DVD is Gustav Klimt's The Kiss (see the notes for the comic book adaptation below for more).

Ambassador Kerens hosts the dinner for psychoanalysts Freud, Jung, and Adler. Freud is played by Max Von Sydow, a famed actor who would also go on to play the small role Lor San Tekka in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Kerens is played by Bruce Boa, who may be recognized by some Star Wars fans as General Rieekan in The Empire Strikes Back.

The psychiatric philosophies spoken of in Freud's and Jung's argument at dinner are essentially true to what these men espoused in real life.

The interiors of Belvedere Palace were shot in the Archbishop's Palace in Kromeriz, Czech Republic.

The Archduke tells Indy that he himself was denied to right to marry Sophie's mother because she was not a Hapsburg. This is true, but he was finally given permission to marry her under pressure from his formidable family members who sympathized.

Sophie gives Indy a locket with a picture of herself in it. In "Trek of Doom", Teen Indy is seen opening the locket and it has a picture of the real life Sophie von Hohenberg, rather than the young actress Amalie Alstrup as seen here.

Notes from the comic book adaptation of this episode The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles #9 Dark Horse Comics Script and artwork by Dan Barry Inks by Andy Mushynsky Colors and letters by Gail Beckett October 1992

In the comic, Dr. Carol Schultz is instead Dr. Carol Nussbaum.

Old Indy mentions that Vienna was the jewel of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The city was the capital of first the Austrian Empire and then the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1804 to 1918, when the empire was dissolved at the end of WWI.

Old Indy mentions Emperor Franz Josef. He was the emperor of Austria and the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1848-1916.

    Old Indy says Vienna was the hub of great music, art, and science and page 2 depicts a montage of Mozart, Shubert, Mahler, Klimt, Strauss, and Freud. Mozart, Shubert, Mahler, and Strauss were Austrian composers of the 19th Century. Gustav Klimt (1862-1918) was an Austrian symbolist painter. Freud was discussed above.

    On page 3, Old Indy mentions Beethoven as well. Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) was a German-Austrian composer. The unnamed bust Little Indy looks at in panel 1 appears to be that of Beethoven.

    The painting Little Indy sees in panel 2 of page 3 is Klimt's The Kiss (the artwork is seen again on page 13). It was painted in 1907-08 and was actually on display in Vienna from June 1-November 16, 1908. This suggests Little Indy's November 1908 time in Vienna was before the 16th. The painting was considered fairly erotic at the time, which is likely why Old Indy remarks that while his father wanted some of Vienna's great cultural heritage to rub off on him and he did learn "a lot", it was maybe "even more than Dad had intended." Indy imagines this same painting again when he and Sophie kiss on page 20.

    In the episode, Indy does not see this work of art until about halfway through, at 21:18.

On page 3, the horse-riding coach says, "Ja, so. Aufrecht, ruhig, jetzt...hup. Galopp." This is German for "Yes. Upright, calm, now...hup. Gallop."

On page 5, a sign that probably reads Konditor is seen. Konditor is German for "confectioner".

As Indy reads the "What Means This, When I Lie Alone?" poem on page 8, in panel 4 a book on Chaucer is seen on the bookshelf in the background. Geoffrey Chaucer (1340-1400) was an English poet, often called both the father of English literature and the father of English poetry.

Instead of "Love's Philosophy" as the second poem he reads with Miss Seymour, Indy reads William Shakespeare's "Sonnet 18". This sonnet is often misconstrued as a love poem, but it's more of a poem about life.

In the comic, Indy's snow globe gift to Sophie is wrapped. In the TV episode, it is unwrapped.

The drawing of the Belvedere Palace in this issue does not seem to match either the actual Belvedere or the Valtice Castle that stands in for it in the TV episode.

On page 18, the dog handler at the palace says, "Hallo! Wer is da?" and "Niemand!" This German for "Hello! Who is there?" and "Nobody!" Later on the page, Emilie says, "Ja? Ist jemand da?" This is German for "Yes? Is anyone there?"

In the comic, Indy remarks that the Archduke was at piano recital, but in the episode, he is attending a recital by an orchestral band in the palace.

The closing bookend of the comic leads into Indy telling Dr. Schultz the story of "Austria, March 1917", which continues in issue #10.
