Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe story of Wilby Daniels having to conceal his real self has often been viewed as ironic considering the closeted life Tommy Kirk was leading.
- GoofsThe inscription in the ring reads "In canis corpore transmuto", which is supposed to mean "I transmute into a dog's body" in Latin. That is, however, a grammatical mistake, because the correct Latin sentence should read "... in canis corpus..." (in the accusative case) instead of "... in canis corpore..." (which is the ablative case).
- Quotes
Moochie Daniels: Gee, Wilby, you know I like you much better as a dog.
- Alternate versionsThis film is also available in a computer colorized version. The colorized version was made for syndicated TV in the 1980s and was originally 10 minutes shorter than the original theatrical cut. The DVD release contains both versions of the film, with the colorized version being the same length as the original theatrical black and white version.

Featured review
A Good Beginning
After years of strictly animated features, this is the first live action feature from Disney and it is still a delight even 44 years after it was first released. Fred MacMurray shows what a great comedic talent he was after years of playing primarily dramatic roles. He shows in this film a preview of what was to be expected when he started the show that became his trademark, "My Three Sons". Also, Tommy Kirk, Tim Considine and Kevin Corcoran all were great in this film. This is still a great film.
