Production notes

This is the first Tom and Jerry cartoon to show adult humans (other than Mammy-Two-Shoes). Also the first Tom and Jerry cartoon to be released in CinemaScope (Though it was the second to be produced in the format; the first being Touché, Pussy Cat!)

Tom and Spike are shown in the line-drawing style more typical of UPA cartoons.

Song: "Love That Pup" (Scott Bradley)
