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 initial telecasts took place in Seattle Tuesday 21 October 1958 on KIRO (Channel 7), in Boston Thursday 30 October 1958 on WBZ (Channel 4), and in Omaha Tuesday 25 November 1958 on KETV (Channel 7), but apparently out of tune with contemporary cultural sensibilities, further airings were few and far between. In Phoenix it was first shown 30 May 1959 on KVAR (Channel 12), and in Toledo 31 January 1960 on WTOL (Channel 11).
