Trivia

This film is one of over 200 titles in the list of independent feature films made available for television presentation by Advance Television Pictures announced in Motion Picture Herald 4 April 1942. At this time, television broadcasting was in its infancy, almost totally curtailed by the advent of World War II, and would not continue to develop until 1945-46. Because of poor documentation (feature films were often not identified by title in conventional sources) no record has yet been found of its initial television broadcast. It's earliest documented telecast occurred Wednesday 14 February 1945 on the DuMont Television Network's WABD (still broadcasting on Channel 4), New York City. Post WWII televiewers in Detroit got their first look at it Friday 17 June 1949 on WJBK (Channel 2), in Philadelphia Sunday 27 November 1949 on WCAU (Channel 10), in Salt Lake City Monday 28 November 1949 on KDYL (Channel 4), in Atlanta Tuesday 13 December 1949 on WSB (Channel 8), in Cincinnati Thursday 15 December 1949 on WCPO (Channel 7), and in Chicago Tuesday-Wednesday 21-22 February 1950 on WNBQ (Channel 5).
