1949 version
The 1949 version aired on BBC, and starring Marius Goring, Ivan Craig and Josée Richard. Broadcast live, it was likely never telerecorded, and is lost.
1953 version
The 1953 version also aired on the BBC, and was an episode of Wednesday Theatre. It featured Robert Helpmann and Harold Lang. This version is likely lost, as the BBC rarely telerecorded shows during 1953.
1958 version
The 1958 version aired on Australian broadcaster ABC, and aired live on ABC's Melbourne station ABV-2. A telerecording (also known as a kinescope) was made and shown in Sydney on station ABN-2. This version also featured Robert Helpmann. It is not known if the kinescope recording still exists.
