measures 22x28 horizontally on card stock. NOTICE: THIS WAS AN ILLEGAL RELEASE. An article from the September 1952 Variety reported that the film was released illegally in 1950 in a sound version in which a narrator read the original titles. The perpetrator, Howard G. Underwood of Pine Grove, KY, removed the original Universal credits and substituted credits which read, "Howard G. Underwood presents Uncle Tom's Cabin . Produced by Howard G. Underwood, Copyrighted 1950." Universal sued for damages, an injunction against exhibition, seizure of prints and destruction of prints and negatives. In Sep 1952, a U.S. Marshal in Lexington, KY seized and impounded three prints of the film from Underwood's garage, in accordance with a court order. Variety goes on to report that the film had been showing in hundreds of theatres and drive-ins and had been doing tremendous biz, often outgrossing many current pictures.
NOW you know why Universal released the 1958 version.
