Notes: Film Classics programmer picked up by Fox for Australian release and used by Hoyts for support to Oh, You Beautiful Doll on its suburban-go-round. Rated lowly in most metrics, but both its number of Saturdays as a % of all engagements and number of second billings both placed in their respective top 40s.
