Trivia
This film's LP soundtrack album, released in a gatefold cover on the Coral label in 1957, remains one of the highest-prized collectibles of the genre, booking for over $250 per copy. Part of the reason for the item's collectibility is the fact that it is one of precious few soundtrack albums that were ever released from a short subject.
