This film's much heralded and long awaited television premiere took place in Hartford CT Sunday 4 March 1956 on WGTH (Channel 18) and for a week in New York City beginning Monday 5 March 1956 on WOR (Channel 9); ratings ran so high, the following week it was withdrawn from television distribution, and a successful nationwide theatrical re-release begun. As was a common television practice of the era, the film was cut to 70 minutes and presented in a predetermined ninety minute time slot, with approximately 20 minutes set aside for commercial interruptions. About a half an hour of original footage had to be eliminated in order to accomplish this feat.
