The Biscuit Eater is a 1940 children's film directed by Stuart Heisler and starring Billy Lee and Cordell Hickman as two kids who raise a runt of a dog. It was named one of the Top Ten Films of 1940 by the National Board of Review. Walt Disney Productions made a 1972 remake under the same title.

Production

Baby LeRoy was originally cast as Lonnie McNeil. While filming the first scene on location, which called for LeRoy to swing across a lake on a rope, he fell into the water twice.

By the following day, he had lost his voice from a cold. As the entire crew was on location, the accident forced the director to choose between recasting or holding up production until he recovered. The director chose to recast, and Billy Lee replaced LeRoy in the role.
