This movie was filmed around my home town of Mendon Missouri. Mostly on the farm of Tom Bash. I believe he financed part of the filming of this picture. He was judge of the eastern district in Missouri in the 20's and Sheriff of Jackson County Mo. in the 30's. He offered to adopt my father Calvin Collins but my father refused because he was told he would have to wear shoes and have to finish his homework before he went fishing. Bash hosted many large hunts on his vast farm and they were attended by many dignitaries including Harry Truman. Lionel Barrymore attended parties at the Bash Ranch aside from being there to make this film.
