Facts about Mom and Dad
While the box office records of the 1940s are difficult to research, this is the consensus top-grossing picture of 1947.
When the film opened in Baltimore, Maryland, the theater was picketed by religious groups, the Catholic Legion of Decency gave it a "C" (Condemned) rating and the Maryland Board of Censors threatened to have it banned in the state. All of that publicity resulted in the picture doing $32,000 worth of business in the first week at a time when theater admission prices were 25 cents.
Producer Kroger Babb had so much faith in this project that he determined that the film itself meet the accepted technical standards of a professional production. To achieve this, within the limits of his available capital, he approached one of Hollywood's leading poverty row studios, Monogram Pictures, to actually make the film. Monogram assigned producer Barney A. Serecky (as production supervisor), director of photography Marcel Le Picard, editor Richard Currier and especially director William Beaudine. This team had long experience with creating "one week wonders" on time and within meager budgets.
