It was filmed during the summer of 1949...sixty-seven years ago...and as far as I know, all the cast and crew are now dead (including, of coarse, the parrot). Yes, I know it was released in 1950, but the actual filming took place in 1949. Bobby Driscoll was 12 years old at the time of filming. Were he still with us, he'd be 79 now.

I hope that making this movie didn't cause them to die of shame. It isn't that bad.

On the other hand, half the cast of "The Conqueror" died of cancer.
That was an unintentionally funny movie that should have changed locations once they saw the mushroom cloud.
