Added DiffLines:
* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The 1936 film was incredibly difficult to find for a long while as MGM brought the rights when they planned to make their remake from the 1940s and once they eventually did, the movie was then unofficially banned because of Paul Robeson being blacklisted in the 1950s, it would only get a wide re-release after his death and was finally shown on Cable in 1983.
** Also, the 1936 film wasn't on DVD for a long time. There had been a video and a Laserdisc release, but apart from a Brazilian release in 2003, the first big DVD came in 2014 and only as part of the Warner Home Video's Archive Collection of mail-order films and then in 2020 Criterion finally made a commercial release which came and the Blu-ray version.
** The 1936 soundtrack was never officially been released apart from Allan Jones' songs being released on an album and there was a bootleg by a company called Xeno.

This is not an example of the trope Istanbul Not Constantinople, which is about place names in fantasy worlds, and wouldn't belong on the trivia page if it were.
Deleted line(s) 6 (click to see context) :
* IstanbulNotConstantinople: One of the songs from the original score is named "In Dahomey". Dahomey was the name used until 1972 for what is now UsefulNotes/{{Benin}}. The song isn't often included in productions, since it isn't central to the plot and is essentially a MinstrelShow (treating Dahomey/Benin like DarkestAfrica).
