"Lest you think this picture is a mystery thriller you should know that the baby cyclone is a dog--assuming that a Pekingese is really an honest to goodness dog. Neither the husband nor the fatal stepper, who wants to be one, would call him a dog and what they would call him isn't fit to be told. Wife and fiancée, on the other hand, think him an angel pet and what with each of them trying to have him for her very own and the two men co-operating in vain to exterminate the pest you have the making of a lively farce." - National Board of Review Magazine.
Decades after its release, The Baby Cyclone remains a vital piece of the cinematic puzzle. Its influence can be seen in countless modern works, solidifying A. Edward Sutherland's status as a master of the craft in United States and beyond.
