Goofs:
Factual errors: When Willie is in school and the class is having Show And Tell, the date on the chalkboard says Sept. 27, 1942, which is a Sunday. And the calendar hanging over the chalkboard shows a month with the last day being a Monday. September 1942 ends on a Wednesday. moreQuotes:
Junior Smalls: [Millard throws a wine bottle at Willie, but Willie dodges. Millard giggles] Listen to me, you little worm. You tell anybody about where we're hiding here this bust-head, you'll wake up to find a dead pooch on your porch.[spits, puts his cigarette in his mouth and shows Willie his wallet]
Junior Smalls: See, I've been needing me a new billfold.
[takes his cigarette off his mouth]
Junior Smalls: I think one made out of genuine dog-hide would be right slick.
[Millard imitates a weak dog's moan to tease Willie]
Junior Smalls: Now you look like a smart kid. You move so much as one little pinkie before the sun comes up, you better start think good and hard about life without that mutt.
Millard: Everybody needs a friend.
[laughs and continues teasing Willie]
Junior Smalls: [laughs and gets up] Come on.

Anybody who had a close friend during childhood who happened to be a canine should go for this one. Like most of the pooch films it was corny in spots, but at least Skip wasn't endowed with human intelligence. Of course, the mean men were around to cause trouble for the dog and boy; can't get by without them. Fun movie, but be sure to bring along a crying towel.
