This film is one of over 200 titles in the list of independent feature films made available for television presentation by Advance Television Pictures announced in Motion Picture Herald 4 April 1942. At this time, television broadcasting was in its infancy, almost totally curtailed by the advent of World War II, and would not continue to develop until 1945-46.

It's earliest documented telecasts took place in New York City Saturday 26 June 1948 on WATV (Channel 13), and in Atlanta Friday 23 December 1949 on WSB (Channel 8). West Coast televiewers got their first look at it in Los Angeles Sunday 2 April 1950 on KECA (Channel 7).
