These are the only James Cagney and Ronald Reagan titles to remain legally unavailable for public viewing at this time. Before sinking into this legal quagmire, its earliest documented telecast took place in Tucson Tuesday 18 September 1956 on KDWI (Channel 9); it first aired in Boston Saturday 27 October 1956 on WBZ (Channel 4), in Indianapolis Friday 21 December 1956 on WISH (Channel 😎 and in Bloomington IN Friday 18 January 1957 on WTTV (Channel 4).
