Production
One Terrible Day was one of four Our Gang comedies produced by Roach Studios in the spring and early summer of 1922. The pilot film, Our Gang, went into production in April, and Fire Fighters began in early May. Young Sherlocks was produced in April and May, and One Terrible Day in early July. Roach showed all four films in the Los Angeles area throughout the summer for the benefit of the critics to "smash critical reaction." Of the four, Roach decided to release the film to the public first. Consequently, One Terrible Day was the fourth Our Gang film to enter production, but the first to be released.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“... this dream that men shall cease to waste strength in competition and shall come to pool their powers of production is coming to pass all over the earth.”
—Jane Addams (1860–1935)
“The repossession by women of our bodies will bring far more essential change to human society than the seizing of the means of production by workers.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“An art whose limits depend on a moving image, mass audience, and industrial production is bound to differ from an art whose limits depend on language, a limited audience, and individual creation. In short, the filmed novel, in spite of certain resemblances, will inevitably become a different artistic entity from the novel on which it is based.”
—George Bluestone, U.S. educator, critic. “The Limits of the Novel and the Limits of the Film,” Novels Into Film, Johns Hopkins Press (1957)
