Production

The film was originally called Small Wonder. It was produced by Halburt, the production company of Harold Hecht and Burt Lancaster, and was originally to have starred Larry Parks but he was unavailable because of possible future appearances before the House Un-American Activities Committee. Barbara Hale made her first appearance since giving birth to her son William Katt.

Filming started April 1951[2] and finished on June 4.[3]
