From the same outfit who gave you those famous "teenage dos and donts" educational films produced during the same period, shown on 16mm high school classroom projectors across the nation to millions of "attentive" students. The production music cue heard at the beginning was also used in the background of Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion "Mother Goose Revue" short {"Old Mother Hubbard" segment} in the early '50s.
