Note that there is little information available about the U.S. release of this movie. We have seen a single U.S. Universal/Famous Productions lobby card from this movie that is dated 1941, but it is a sepia lobby card. We have also seen a color one-sheet and lobby cards from Goodwill/S.S. Krellberg that are undated. Both IMDB and a knowledgeable collector tell us that Goodwill/S.S. Krellberg were the 1941 U.S. first release studios. We know that Universal/Famous Productions distributed the film in Australia and we wonder if perhaps Universal started to release the movie in the U.S. and then decided not to, which would explain why we have only seen the one lobby card (and perhaps they were very lukewarm about it, which would explain the sepia lobby card). Please keep this in mind when bidding and if anyone knows more about the this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good.
