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's earliest documented telecasts took place in New York City Saturday 7 November 1953 on WCBS (Channel 2) and in Detroit Sunday 7 February 1954 on WJBK (Channel 2); it first aired in San Francisco Monday 23 November 1954 on KRON (Channel 4).
