Bob and Sally

Bob and Sally (1948) is a movie produced in the United States. Running for approximately 71 minutes, the movie was produced by J. G. Sanford at Universal Studios and directed by Erle C. Kenton. Director of photography was Ellis Carter and the original screenplay was written by Mary C. Palmer.

The film was one of the various "hygienic films" that were produced in the late 1940s, heavily influenced by the exploitation movie Mom and Dad (1945), produced by Kroger Babb and directed by William Beaudine.

However, due to conflicts with the Production Code, Bob and Sally was not exhibited in the United States and its rights were later sold. The movie was re-released under two other titles, The Story of Bob and Sally and Tell Our Parents.
