| Trivia | One of over 700 Paramount productions, filmed between 1929-49, which were sold to MCA/Universal in 1958 for television distribution, and have been owned and controlled by Universal ever since. However, its failure to appear in any documented television broadcast program guides indicates that no usable prints have survived the ravages of time. See more » |
