the REAL narrator of the film.

Thank you! Morris Ankrum was a neighbor of ours before he passed in 1964. He took credit for many, many films in which he had absolutely NO part. He had a long feud with Vic Perrin, beginning in 1949 when Vic discovered that Morris had passed himself off as a decorated war veteran. In fact, Morris Ankrum served in the Merchant Marine as a dock hand and saw no action, never leaving his posh assignment in Long Beach, CA the entire span of WWII. Vic Perrin revealed his "stolen valor" to the public and Morris Ankrum spent the rest of his life stealing credit from Vic, and other notable voice talent. In 1960, Morris Ankrum was convicted of plagiarism, too. He self-published a novel under the pen name Tobias Pahloosh which was nothing more than a loose reworking of E.M. Forrester's "A Passage to India". As kids, we couldn't stand the guy. He was all shouty and yelly at the neighborhood children. In turn, we routinely bombarded his house with eggs, set fire to his garage (TWICE!), threw rocks through his windows, and poisoned 2 of his pet dogs. I am glad that you spotted this. Cheers!
