I will be on the lookout for the DVD as I have not seen this - literally - since the first viewing in the 50's. Truly.
It has never run on our TV here and I have never seen it on VCR anywhere in my travels.
No doubt had I gone online I could probably have located a copy, but a DVD release would be marvellous.

However, as a testament to the effect, I can indeed recall them digging the hole in the wall ( Susan slipped the knife into a water jug to smuggle it into the room I think ?), how she took Callie outside and kicked the knife back when it flew out into plain sight, and it eventually broke off in the wall maybe ?

The final gunfight with one of the villains ( probably wonderfully nasty looking Jack Elam) shooting at Callie to force them out of cover ( were they behind the water trough perhaps ?).

Anyway - the amount of detail recalled from a minor western that I have not seen for over 50 years indicates the stunning effect Susan Hayward when I first spotted her on screen.

Great stuff indeed.

Kerry, now I've got to get my old vhs copy out and watch it!!... I believe it is on Fox Movie Channel from time to time since they show a lot of old 20th Century Fox films from their vault. Do you have access to the Fox Movie Channel? I need to watch Rawhide again because I can't remember the answers to your questions.. ha.. I do remember the scene when Callie got loose and there was gunfire all around her. I'll be glad when it's out on dvd and I bet it will have some extra features! It's amazing that it made such an impression on you. You'll certainly enjoy seeing it again.

BTW.. Susan was always exceptional in her scenes with children. She was very natural and good with kids.

I know this post is terribly old, but I was venturing through this message board (I really need to come here more often), and I thought this was a really good topic to think about! Some of you are very lucky to have seen so many of her movies, but I imagine I will someday haha.

A couple of years ago, I was in a "TCM mood" and was watching it throughout the day. One of the movies that played was "I Want to Live!" I have to admit I was absolutely mesmerized by this movie. I was completely immersed in it, I thought it was so very good. Susan Hayward's performance in it was wonderful, and the last half hour was so suspenseful and so good. I believe after that, I started looking for Susan Hayward movies whenever I could and I'll watch anything with her in it now! My favorite is "I'll Cry Tomorrow" but "I Want to Live!" is right up there as #2.

Anyway, those are my two cents. Take care, everybody!
