Free Wheeling

Matthew 'Stymie' Beard and Dickie Moore were good friends in real life, as they are in this film. Moore later fondly recalled going to the Beards' home for play and meals.

Without explanation, Dorothy disappears from the "taxi" and miraculously ends up in the car with Dickie's parents.

When the short aired on television during the 1970s the scene where Stymie's mother was calling for him to take the laundry to Dick's parent's house was edited out because it was felt that it was racially insensitive. Similarly, the scene where Dick's mother referred to Stymie as "that colored boy" was also later edited out for the same reason.
