Trivia

This 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" on 4/4/1942. 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 Washington DC on 4/18/1948 on WMAL (Channel 7), in New York City on 4/27/1948 on WCBS (Channel 2), in Baltimore on 7/18/1948 on WBAL (Channel 11), in Cincinnati on 4/29/1949 on WKRC (Channel 11), most likely preceded by a previous airing in 1948 on WLW-T (Channel 4), in Albuquerque on 5/27/1949 on KOB (Channel 4), in Chicago on 7/20/1949 on WGN (Channel 9), and in Los Angeles on 1/12/1950 on KTLA (Channel 5).
