The book Be Prepared came out in 1952 and film rights were bought by Fox who announced it was going to turn it into a film vehicle for Clifton Webb.

Webb collapsed during filming in May 1953. The National Council of the Boy Scouts of America requested some scenes in the script be rewritten.

The film marked Fox's first foray into significant television advertising with a $250,000 campaign.
