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 telecasts took place in New York City Wednesday 9 June 1948 on WATV (Channel 13), in Dayton Saturday 19 February 1949 on WHIO (Channel 13), in Detroit Friday 3 June 1949 on WJBK (Channel 2), in Chicago Monday 4 July 1949 on WBKB (Channel 4), in Atlanta Friday 16 December 1949 on WSB (Channel 8), and in Salt Lake City Wednesday 11 January 1950 on KDYL (Channel 4).
