Availability
It Happened on Fifth Avenue was part of a package of 49 Monogram and Allied Artists features from the late 1940s and early 1950s that were first licensed for television broadcast in 1954.
After 1990, this film essentially disappeared from broadcast and retail availability. Despite an Academy Award nomination, a cult film following through a dedicated fan website, and requests to Turner Classic Movies and American Movie Classics to show the film, it was not shown on American television for almost twenty years.
On November 11, 2008, Warner Home Video released the film on DVD, and it is now available through most major DVD retailers and distributors.
It was finally shown on TCM (Turner Classic Movies) on December 10, 2009.

Famous quotes containing the word availability:
“Since ... six weeks ago, there has been no day in which I have not had letters and visits on the subject of my nomination for the Presidency.... I say very little. I have in no instance encouraged any one to work to that end.... I have said the whole talk about me is on the score of availability. Let availability do the work then.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
