What do I find so compelling about the Siamese Human Knot? First, I find the concept of a torture, using only the victims' bodies, where, in Nora Clavicle's words, "The slightest move by any one of you will only draw the Human Knot tighter, crush your bones and strangle you!" fascinating - no ropes, no unbelievable machinery, just the ordeal of absolute motionlessness.
Next, Batgirl and Robin both look great! Yvonne Craig's costume was never shown off to better advantage. Additionally, all the actors and actresses involved did an excellent job.
Then there are the mysteries surrounding the Human Knot. Why did the actors move a couple of times? Where were the limbs we cannot see? How were the hands held together? I have had one person write and tell me that there really is such a torture. Do you think this is true? I would be very interested in your thoughts on these topics.
Earlier study had shown that not only did Batman move his left arm after the first scene, but the position of Batgirl's and Batman's legs shifted as well! Before the commercial break, both of Batgirl's legs were under Batman's, but in the next shot, Batman's right leg was inbetween Batgirl's legs. This gave viewers a better look at her magnificent chest!
I saw a pair of sports socks for sale at Wal-Mart. They were made of neoprene, the material which Yvonne Craig said her Batgirl costume "was not really as thick as." Not only that, they were made in Thailand (formerly Siam!)
Ages of the principals at the time of the tying of the Siamese Human Knot:
Adam West - 40; Barbara Rush - 37; Yvonne Craig - 30; Burt Ward - 22.
Yvonne Craig is 5'4" tall, while Burt Ward is 5'9". I believe Adam West height is about 6'1 and a half inches.
Joel Eisner, in his 1986 book The Official Batman Batbook writes that Nora Clavicle and the Ladies' Crime Club was the only episode in the series not to have a Batfight. While I am not sure this is correct (what about the two Zelda the Great episodes?), it certainly was rare.
