Trivia
This film had its American network television premiere as a special episode of G.E. True Theater on CBS in 1961. However, it was broadcast in black and white. See more »Goofs
Continuity: The boy comes up to the front window of a bakery shop and peers in, and we see him eyeing the display of bakery goods. Then the camera position changes so that we see the boy from the inside of the bakery, but from the inside looking out, the selection and arrangement of displayed items is suddenly quite different than what we just saw from the outside view.
