Lost in the desert, 30 August 2002
Author: lestoboy from United States

Unfortunately, due to legal issues with the screenplay and music rights, this version, along with the 1929 two-strip Technicolor version, cannot be shown on television or released to video. It is, however, safely stored in the Turner vaults and hopefully TCM will be able to show it in the future.
