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 1945-1946. 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. Re-titled 'Big House for Girls,' as late as 1952 it was still being shown theatrically as an semi-exploitation re-release, particularly in the Los Angeles area, so television sponsors were not forthcoming. Its earliest documented telecast took place in Salt Lake City Thursday 8 December 1949 on KDYL (Channel 4) and there's no record of its being aired again until 8 AM Monday morning 13 October 1952 in Detroit on WXYZ (Channel 7).
Jane Kerr's debut.
