    • Trivia
      A long-unsubstantiated rumor has existed that all prints of this film were recalled by Warner Bros and destroyed. Ron Hutchinson, the founder of The Vitaphone Project, has written that the studio's negative materials were recorded as "junked" in 1948, however there is no evidence that the studio went out of its way to destroy the roughly 500 35mm theatrical prints of the film that would have been struck over the years.

    Really?
    What I want to know is -- how is it that (as of 2021) there are 86 ratings of this film, which supposedly hasn't been shown since the 1960s, or even the 1940s??

    I'm as interested as anyone, even though I suspect it may not have been all that good. But really: I haven't seen any first-hand accounts of the actual film -- anywhere -- and we should only be rating films we've actually seen, OK?
