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 earliest documented telecast took place in Seattle 17 February 1959 on KIRO (Channel 7) but its lack of importance, comparative age, obscurity, and absence of well known players doomed it to infrequent airings mostly in the least predominant markets; it was not taken off the shelf again until it next aired in Minneapolis 12 September 1959 on WTCN (Channel 11), in Johnstown 18 May 1960 on WJAC (Channel 6) and in Pittsburgh 13 June 1960 on KDKA (Channel 2).
