The Kid Brother Facts
Production originally began with Lewis Milestone as director. Production photos show that Milestone directed a few scenes but, due to contract difficulties with Warner Brothers, he had to resign. He was replaced by Ted Wilde, but Wilde had to leave the film due to illness (he later died of a stroke). Harold Lloyd replaced Wilde with gagmen J.A.
