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. It's earliest documented telecast was Sunday 28 November 1948 on WATV, New York City.
With actor Donald Kerr in a leading role, the name "D.M.Kerr, Manufacturer" prominently displayed on a tent near the end of the film has to be an inside joke.
