Description
This is the only film (1953) that Dr. Seuss (Theodor Geisel, 1904-1991) was involved with during his lifetime. Unlike his enormously popular books, it sank at the box office. Director Roy Rowland (1910-1995) blamed producer Stanley Kramer (1913-2001) who dramatically sliced and diced his final cut.
I fondly remembering seeing this film at the RKO Orpheum theater in St. Paul, Minnesota. I had the tough choice of either "Dr.T" or "Shane" across the street at the Paramount. As much as I adored Westerns, the fantasy film of the imagination won out.

Hi Allen, I am intrigued by what triggers a person's response to my images. Often it is is based on a youthful experience. The Alfred E. Newman graffiti picture is one of my favorites. I had it for sale on eBay at one time and it proved quite popular.Thanks for taking the time to leave a message. Best wishes, David Lee
