The failure of the original copyright holder to renew the film's copyright resulted in it falling into public domain, meaning that virtually anyone could duplicate and sell a VHS/DVD copy of the film. Therefore, many of the versions of this film available on the market are either severely (and usually badly) edited and/or of extremely poor quality, having been duped from second- or third-generation (or more) copies of the film.
This film received its initial telecasts in Los Angeles Sunday 26 February 1950 on KNBH (Channel 4) and in New York City Tuesday 9 May 1950 on WCBS (Channel 2).
