The year 1947 in film involved some significant events.
Don Barry, also known as Red Barry, was an American film and television actor. He was nicknamed "Red" after appearing as the first Red Ryder in the highly successful 1940 film Adventures of Red Ryder with Noah Beery Sr.; the character was played in later films by "Wild Bill" Elliott and Allan Lane. Barry went on to bigger budget films following Red Ryder, but none reached his previous level of success. He played Red Doyle in the 1964 Perry Mason episode "The Case of the Simple Simon".
Crime Does Not Pay was an MGM anthology crime film series of shorts that ran from 1935 to 1947. Each episode was around 20 minutes in length and composer-conductor John Gart provided the music. Each installment began with an actor appearing as "your MGM crime reporter" introducing a law-enforcement official, who would inform the audience of a current criminal trend sweeping the country: drunk driving, underage crime, unscrupulous businessmen, scam artists, and so on. A case history of one such example would be shown. The approach was always dramatic with sobering, ironic, or bleak outcomes, from arrest and incarceration to disfigurement and death.
