This carried a production number of 1311, which Universal, either short of imagination or lost the count number, used the same number again on a 1955 short with the Ink Spots and the Barry Sisters. For those, if any, who track such, make this 1311-1946 and the other one 1311-1955. Warners recycled footage in their Shorts and Universal went one better by recycling footage and numbers. Columbia would just reissue the original and put a different number on it. Rhyme or reason was never a big issue in Hollywood. RKO used five-digit numbers such as 63546, which quickly blows the theory that production numbers represented films-released-in-sequence by a studio. Written by Les Adams See less
