Trivia
Bars from the Policeman theme in the comic opera "The Pirates of Penzance" are heard in each scene showing the police searching the school. In addition, the police constables mimic the exaggerated tip-toe steps and single-file movements as commonly seen in the choreograph of the "The Pirates of Penzance" productions. Finally, the police sergeant (played by Bill Shine) leading the search wears a handlebar moustache which is also commonly seen in classic productions of the opera.
