Trivia

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. Because of poor documentation (feature films were often not identified by title in conventional sources) no record has yet been found of its initial television broadcast. Its earliest documented telecast took place in Cincinnati, where it was shown in two parts Sunday-Monday 10-11 April 1949 on freshly launched WKRC (Channel 11); in Atlanta it first aired Saturday 14 May 1949 on WSB (Channel 8), in Philadelphia Wednesday 28 December 1949 on WFIL (Channel 6), and in Los Angeles Tuesday 17 January 1950 on KLAC (Channel 13).

Goofs

Although the story seems to be taking place in the era of buckboards, stagecoaches, oil lamps, and primitive wall telephones, Marion Shilling, the leading lady, as well as all the other women visible in the film, wears 1935 fashions and hairstyles.
