Pathe released the film in both black & white and Pathecolour, an early colour-film process which was considerably more expensive to produce but very popular with audiences. The film was deposited with Ngā Taonga Sound & Vision in 2012 from the collection of the late Warren Sparks by his wife Elza Sparks-Barclay. The film was researched and identified as Petite Rosse and later found to be the only existing example of a complete original release print of the Pathecolor version and, even more unusually, in a copy that is in good enough condition to safely project. The original nitrate print has been sent to the George Eastman Museum as it is one of the only archives in the world that can still project nitrate film. It has now been preserved as part of a fellowship between George Eastman Museum’s Selznick School and Haghefilm in Amsterdam.

    G44 Annual Report 2019/20 Lotto New Zealand exists to generate essential funding for Kiwi communities — it's why we do what we do! Every time Kiwis play our games, they are a Kiwi helping other Kiwis. We are proud that Lotto NZ funding, via the Lottery Grants Board, is making a positive difference in the lives of people all around New Zealand. With 100% of our profits supporting thousands of great causes and charities every year, our players are helping build strong and sustainable communities. But we cannot achieve our goal of maximising benefits for New Zealand communities if playing our games causes undue harm. Our commitment to keeping our players safe is central to everything we do. We are firmly focused on the sustainability of our business and communities, ensuring we can keep benefiting New Zealand, and making a meaningful difference in our country’s future.
