Thought to have been lost for some years, parts of the film (five reels of images with two reels of sound) were recovered in a very decomposed state. It was part of the British Film Institute campaign in 1992 to locate missing movies.[2]
In a feature about him in the January 1994 edition of Empire magazine, it was revealed that Bob Monkhouse had an intact copy of the full film, but this, along with other irreplaceable material, was seized by the police when he was arrested for conspiracy to import feature films belonging to major film companies. Although the charges were dropped, the film had been incinerated.[3]
