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 1945-1946. 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 Los Angeles Tuesday 25 November 1947 on KTLA (Channel 5); in New York City it first aired Saturday 5 August 1950 on WABD (Channel 5).
This is the third of four films that Rita Hayworth made freelancing before returning to Columbia Pictures. It was also her ninth U.S. feature film released.
From "Film Daily": "Rita Cansino is decorative as the love interest."
From "Weekly Variety": "Femme nicety is Rita Cansino, whose tamale accent fits her well for the part of the daughter of the Spanish governor."
During World War II, the film was retitled "Louisiana Gal" and released with Rita Hayworth given top billing.
