Reception
Like many American films of the time, Whose Baby? was subject to cuts by city and state film censorship boards. The Chicago Board of Censors cut a scene of a heavy woman sliding down a railing, two scenes of her falling in a gymnasium, and a closeup of her backed up against a wall.[2]
Preservation
Copies of the film are held by the UCLA Film & Television Archive[3] and George Eastman House.[4]
