The closing credits do not display the regular MGM cards but rather the Tom and Jerry cards (usually used on Tom and Jerry shorts). This might indicate that the currently available version could be a re-release print (and many MGM cartoons from the
1940s were reissued with newer title cards, as well as occasionally with minor edits [http://cartoonresearch.com/mgm.html "MGM CARTOON ORIGINAL TITLES", byJerry Beck ] ).References
