Rocky
1948

The Essentials
WHO: WHAT:
Chris Hammond Monogram Pictures does boy and dog. We *think* this marks the start of McDowall's collaboration with Monogram, THE studio of his "awkward" period in movies.
WHY:
We're guessing no Lassie... but a substantially larger role than Scruffy, anyhoo...

Writer: Jack DeWitt, story by George Wallace Sayre

Interesting note: McDowall served as Associate Producer (with Ace Herman) on this and other Monogram flicks. Nifty reminder of the struggle he and other juvenile greats faced in H'Wood -- still youths on screen but trying to mature in their careers.
