Trivia

This film's earliest documented USA telecasts took place in Detroit Sunday 24 April 1949 on WWJ (Channel 4), and in New York City Tuesday 11 October 1949 on WPIX (Channel 11). Since it was never released theatrically on this side of the Atlantic, these airings also marked its premiere USA public presentations.
