Notes

No release date has been located for the film, although several sources reviewed it. Although the Hollywood Reporter review listed the film's aspect ratio as 2:1, the Daily Variety review listed it as the standard 1.33:1. Reviews were generally uncomplimentary, with Jack Moffitt, the Hollywood Reporter reviewer, commenting: "...not recommended to exhibitors....The movie business is making a comeback, but it has not reached the point where it can afford to bore an audience for more than an hour."
