One of over 700 Paramount productions, filmed between 1929 and 1949, which were sold to MCA/Universal in 1958 for television distribution, and have been owned and controlled by Universal ever since. Its earliest documented telecasts took place in Seattle Tuesday 3 March 1959 on KIRO (Channel 7), followed by Phoenix 3 June 1959 on KVAR (Channel 12), by Minneapolis 7 June 1959 on WTCN (Channel 11), and by Asheville 13 September 1959 on WLOS (Channel 13). At this time, color broadcasting was in its infancy, limited to only a small number of high rated programs, primarily on NBC and NBC affiliated stations, so these film showings were all still in B&W. Viewers were not offered the opportunity to see these films in their original Technicolor until several years later.
"Lux Radio Theater" broadcast a 60 minute radio adaptation of the movie on
December 20, 1943 with Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour reprising their film roles.
Debut of Billy De Wolfe.
