Production
Shivering Shakespeare was the final Our Gang comedy directed by Robert A. McGowan, who was billed as Anthony Mack to differentiate himself from his uncle, Robert Francis McGowan, the Our Gang series' producer and senior director. The younger McGowan would remain a part of the Our Gang unit as a writer for the rest of its existence, even after the series was sold to MGM in 1938.
