Trivia:
20,000 children auditioned for the part of Dennis. Ten of them were selected to test the role with Walter Matthau. In the end, Mason Gamble got it. moreGoofs:
Miscellaneous: When Dennis sets the robber's pants on fire, the middle of the back of his pants smokes. When you see the robber's backside later, there's a burn hole on his right cheek, not on the middle. moreSoundtrack:

Matthau has all of the best screen time in this film version of the classic young boy who always happens to get himself and the people around him into trouble. Mason Gamble is adorable as Dennis and holds up to the traditions of the television series and the numerous cartoons of the character. Joan Plowright co-stars as Mrs. Wilson.
