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" 4/4/42. 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 of its initial television broadcast has yet been found. Its earliest documented telecast (under its original title) took place in Los Angeles 12/23/47 on KTLA (Channel 5); re-titled "The Lady from Frisco", it was first aired in New York City 10/11/48 on WCBS (Channel 2), and in Lowell MA (serving the Boston Area) 12/18/48 on WBZ (Channel 4).
This is the first of four films that Rita Hayworth made freelancing before returning to Columbia Pictures.
