Release

Theatrical

In an unusual move, a feature film version was released simultaneously with the serial. Releasing feature versions, made from editing together footage from the serial, was a common practice but they were usually released after the initial run of the source serial. Nat Levine claimed it contained footage not seen in the serial version.cite book
