The film was produced by Lawrence H. Mandell of the AMC Films Branch.  Others to be congratulated are Leland Baxter, contract writer; Clem Stegdon, contract director; John Hannan, film editor; Anthony Cassara, music editor; Thomas Hanlon, Robert Lee and Sam Deutscher, soundmen; and the Pictorial Branch of the U.
