Trivia
There were actually two dogs used to play the lead. Wildfire was used for closeups and non-action shots, and a double was used to perform the tricks.

Errores
When Patch first encounters Wildfire at the bar, he takes him over and places him on a table. The dog is then shown sitting and standing in subsequent successive shots.

Citas
[first lines]
Wildfire: [about him and his mother as they wander the streets and back alleys of the Bowery] We ate at only the best restaurants in the waterfront o' little old New York. Well, behind the best restaurants anyway. Hoffmeier's garbage can belonged to me and my mother. Everybody knew that. That's Ma, working on a steak bone. As for those mongrels, thinking they were going to push us out of the way, that was a large mistake. Although I do not admire the expression, it was strictly dog eat dog on the waterfront.

Créditos curiosos

delightful.....

For me, this delightful film is reminiscent of the great classic Warner Bros. cartoons of the 50's. Especially the "dog themed" cartoons. Like the one where the mutt is trying to get Porky Pig to adopt him, remember? But the dog in this movie has a lot more "on the ball" and is not such a con-dog. If you like good Warner Bros. "dog" cartoons, you'll love this. Also, for you literati, I may add the term "Runyonesque" to this review. It's really quite unique in my experience, which is a neat trick in itself. What makes this film different from something from Disney? It's not overly cute. And not overly sentimental. And thus should be on the menu for adults as well as children.
