Dogpound Shuffle (also known as Spot) is a 1975 comedy film written and directed by Jeffrey Bloom and starring David Soul and Ron Moody.[1][2]

Plot

[edit]

Two drifters, a former vaudeville dancer and a boxer, bond with a stray dog. When their dog is accidentally impounded, they form a song-and-dance act to raise money for the dog's release.

Production

[edit]

The film was financed by Lew Grade because he felt it had a possibility for a TV series.[3] Grade never made a TV series based on the film, but because so little money was involved, he said he did not lose money on it.[3]
