- The theatrical version of the film was lost to the viewing public over the years. The film was seen only in poor quality, cut-down 16mm versions for television and non-theatrical showing. Various portions of the film were missing in different prints: this may have been because of cuts made by individual television stations, by damage to prints, or a combination of both.
- In 2004(?), the film was restored through UCLA using portions of three existing 35mm prints. The new restoration contains all known existing footage. One small portion of film was still missing though it was known to exist because a music cue was available. The single shot (showing a hand signing a letter) was carefully recreated using the hand of Sturges own son Thomas and put back into the film along with the original score. This version was screened in New York City, New York at the Film Forum on April 1 & 2, 2005. Several of the showings were attended and by Thomas Sturges.
