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 first documented telecast took place in Boston Thursday 31 December 1958 on WBZ (Channel 4); it first aired in Omaha Friday 6 March 1959 on KETV (Channel 7); not exactly a frequent flyer, it was not taken off the shelf again until it aired in Minneapolis Saturday 14 November 1959 on WTCN (Channel 11), and then again in both Toledo and San Francisco 19 March 1960 on WTOL (Channel 11) and KPIX (Channel 5).
