A teenager languishes for the sure speed of motorcycle wheels, not spaniel paws, in Pardon My Pups by writers Ewart Adamson (October 23, 1882 – November 28, 1945) and Ernest Pagano (January 16, 1901 – April 29, 1953); writer/director Charles Lamont (May 5, 1895 – September 12, 1993); and producer Edwin Hampton Allen (November 15, 1885 – August 13, 1942). Dwight Warren (July 18, 1889 – August 14, 1979) and Walter C. Smith (January 22, 1904 – February 6, 1974) respectively monitor cinematography and sound. The equivalent of film editing results from the post-production analysis and pre-release approval of The National Board of Review of Motion Pictures. The production company studios of the Educational Films Corporation of America serve as the filming location.
The 19-minute film claims third place in the four comedy shorts known as the Frolics of Youth and realized from 1933 to 1934 by Educational Films under the observation “The Spice of the Program.” The opening date for public circulation by the studio’s distribution company, Fox Film Corporation, is identified as January 26, 1934. It is preceded by:
- Merrily Yours of October 6, 1933;
- What’s To Do? of November 24, 1933.
It precedes Managed Money of February 23, 1934. It unites with the series’ other three comedies in attempting to narrow the generation gaps between:
- A precocious little sister, Mary Lou, and temperamental older brother, Sonny;
- Both children and their working-class parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Rogers.
