Interesting facts

  • Based on: Little Iodine

Little Iodine is a 1946 American comedy film directed by Reginald LeBorg and written by Richard H. Landau. The film is based on the comic strip Little Iodine by Jimmy Hatlo. The film stars Jo Ann Marlowe, Marc Cramer, Eve Whitney, Irene Ryan, and Hobart Cavanaugh. Little Iodine was produced by Comet Productions and released on October 20, 1946, by United Artists. All prints of the film were believed to be destroyed after 10 years, effectively making it a lost film. In December 2024, Missing Episodes hunter Ray Langstone spotted a 35mm film reel in the UCLA Film and Television Archive.

Production

Termed a "comic strip" picture, Little Iodine is adapted from the characters in Little Iodine created by Jimmy Hatlo. Hatlo also originated the popular panel feature They'll Do It Every Time. Film historian Wheeler W. Dixon reports that director Reginald LeBorg "thought little of the project." In an interview with Dixon in 1988, LeBorg remarked:

It was a cartoon. It was for teenagers. They wanted to get a new audience in at United Artists, so [producer] "Buddy" Rogers came up with the idea.
