The dramatic structure, with a sinisterly toned narrator addressing the protagonist ("You think you've gotten away with it, don't you John?"), is a take-off on a then popular radio drama series, "The Whistler."
Both "The William Tell Overture" and "A Hunting We Will Go" are partially played in a minor key, to add to the air of sinister foreboding.
Included as a bonus on the Warner DVD of Each Dawn I Die (1939).
One of the few Looney Tunes to prominently feature a Hammond pipe organ in many scenes, in a nod to suspense radio shows of the era.
