PlotAfter seeing his first circus, young Johnnie (Brockman Seawell) asks for an elephant to keep as a pet. To placate him, his mother (Molly Turner) whimsically "gives" him the elephant in the local zoo. The boy's classmates resent his pride in "owning" the pachyderm, and the boy learns to share, making his peers equal "owners".[2][3] ProductionShortly after graduating from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, future feature-film director-producer Saul Swimmer directed the half-hour children's short "The Boy Who Owned a Melephant". Co-written by Swimmer and Tony Anthony, adapting a story by Marvin Wald, it was produced by a team credited as Gayle-Swimmer-Anthony,[4] which included frequent collaborator Peter Gayle.[3] It was released by Universal Pictures on October 6, 1959[4] or November 9, 1959[2] (sources differ). Narrated by actress Tallulah Bankhead, it starred her godson, Brockman Seawell, actress Eugenia Rawls' son, and played the Palace Theatre in New York City.[4] The film screened at the 1959 San Francisco International Film Festival,[5] and won a 1959 Gold Leaf award at the Venice International Children's Film Festival.[4] On March 19, 1967, it was paired with the 1952 French short "White Mane" as an episode of the television anthology series CBS Children's Film Festival.[6] References1. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/22/movies/22swimmer.html?ref=obituaries |title=Saul Swimmer, 70, Film Documentarian, Dies|agency= Associated Press |via= The New York Times|date= March 22, 2007|accessdate=January 22, 2018|archivedate= January 30, 2013| archiveurl=https://archive.is/fa4zY|deadurl=no}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://fan.tcm.com/_A-Cavalcade-of-Short-Subject-Reviews-Part-23-1958-1963/blog/5094174/66470.html | title=A Cavalcade of Short Subject Reviews Part 23: 1958-1963| publisher=TCM.com based on reviews in Boxoffice magazine | archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/67APXw3kJ| archivedate=April 24, 2012|deadurl=yes}} 3. ^{{cite news|first=Dorothy| last = Kilgallen|authorlink=Dorothy Kilgallen| title=Voice of Broadway|publisher= (Syndicated column) via the Schenectady Gazette|date=September 13, 1960|quote=The youngest film producers in the United States — 22-year-old Peter Gayle, Saul Swimmer and Tony Anthony — are negotiating for the film rights to Arthur Miller's '[A] Memory of Two Mondays'.}} 4. ^1 2 3 {{cite book|last=Carrier | first=Jeffrey L.|title= Tallulah Bankhead: A Bio-Bibliography| publisher=Greenwood Press |year =1991| isbn=978-0313274527 |page = [https://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0313274525/ref=sr_1_1?p=S00H&keywords=The+Boy+Who+Owned+a+Melephant&ie=UTF8&qid=1335279982 146]}} 5. ^{{cite web| url=http://history.sffs.org/films/film_details.php?id=658 | publisher= San Francisco International Film Festival| title= The Boy Who Owned a Melephant|accessdate=April 24, 2012|archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/67AOQu7VW | archivedate= April 24, 2012}} 6. ^1 The CBS Children's Film Festival 1967 (fan site).
