My strongest memory of the shoot was that the director was Jackie Cooper, a long time Hollywood figure who was a child star ("Don't shoot my dog!") that made the jump into adult film and television roles but never became a huge star. He did star in two childhood/early teenyears favorites of mine, the first a 1955-58 TV series "The People's Choice" where he shared top billing with a Basset Hound named Cleo plus the second, "Hennesey," where he played a Navy Doc that chased a very comely Abby Dalton as Navy nurse for 3 seasons, 1959-62.
As for my memories of Bochco, none directly. I do recall, as they say. the word on the street was that he was a control freak plus his normal for la-la-land 'liberal to the bone & beyond' politics.
