Trivia: This was LASSIE's last movie for M-G-M. (The first was 1943's Lassie Come Home). It was also perhaps the only movie in which this female dog character Lassie, which was always played by a male dog, played a male role (Shep)! Kind of like Victor, Victoria...with fleas!

In the 1920's, actor PAUL KELLY served two years in prison for manslaughter.
