    • Production

    The chemistry laboratory is trying to find a way to make the cellulose used to make toy dolls in a non-flammable form. There are obvious resonances to the problem with the highly flammable celluloid used to make films like this one.

    Withers made four quota quickies with Powell, who she found a "difficult man",.
