Production
In March 1950, Paramount announced a sequel to Dear Wife called Dear Mom. Arthur Sheekman and Jack Sher were assigned to write the script and Robert Welsch was to produce.[3] In August, Norman Z. McLeod was suspended by Paramount for refusing to direct the film.[4] That same month, the project was retitled Dear Brat. It was to be based on an original story by Deverey Freeman and produced by Mel Epstein.[5] In October, Lyle Bettger was cast, but Joan Caulfield and William Holden, who had starred in Dear Ruth and Dear Wife, did not return.[6] Filming began on October 20, with William Seiter as director, and was completed by the end of November.[7]
