'''Availability:''' Rare. Several other companies now distribute the movie library of this now-defunct company. Last seen on ''Ten Seconds That Shook the World'' on AT&T U-verse Screen Pack, but it is no longer available. Also seen on ''The Red Balloon'' and ''Sad Song of Yellow Skin''. You can find this fairly easily on old PBS programs on the Internet Archive, mainly those originally presented by WNET. The B&W variant was found in the Argentinian film ''Piel de Verano''. Do not expect to see this on Columbia Pictures Home Entertainment's releases of films in their library, including ''Breaker Morant''. The entire jingle can be heard in the podcast ''Blowback (Season 3, Episode 1)'' about 24 minutes into the episode. | '''Availability:''' Rare.
