 Although the film was shot in color, producer Alex Gordon (I) (qv)  stopped in a theater where it was showing and was astounded to see  that it was being shown in black and white. He checked with Columbia  Pictures, the distributor, and was informed that all release prints  of the film were in black and white. Gordon could not get anyone at  Columbia to explain to him why the film was released that way.  Later, when the film was syndicated to television, the prints that  were sent out were in color. Gordon couldnt get Columbia to explain  that, either.
