Errol, of course I don't care if you give TCM my website url for Susan.. thanks..

Also, I need to prod them also.. just keep sending emails and maybe getting on the message board..might help.

I don't know why they overlook Susan Hayward so much either. Robert Osborne was the last person to interview her, wasn't he? At least that is what I am recalling from Linet's book. He always speaks so respectfully of her when they do a play or film of hers.

Howard, you may be right, but still there are many films that she made that weren't 20th century Fox. Back Street, for example, was Universal International and she made a few films at Warner Brothers and many at Paramount...also some more independent type films. There is a treasure chest of films out there, I would think, without even bothering Fox's vault.

HI Howard...I used to think the same as you...but then I would see yet another slip through the archives and out of the vault (since TCM has soo many)..and then it appears on TCM...(ONCE...BUT THEN LOCKED UP AGAIN FOR WAY TOO LONG)

Some of the ones I have seen this happen with were...
MY FOOLISH HEART, THE SAXON CHARM, AMONG THE LIVING, UNTAMED, SOLDIER OF FORTUNE (which at one time they over played)..YOUNG AND WILLING, RAWHIDE, THE LUSTY MEN, THE HAIRY APE, THE LOST MOMENT, HOUSE OF STRANGERS, SMASH-UP THE STORY OF A WOMAN (they have a BAD print of this one) and only ONCE did I see WOMAN OBSESSED on TCM..But these have all shown there and then disappeared.

It seems that the only ones they will play are I'LL CRY TOMORROW, I WANT TO LIVE! and about four years they did show WITH A SONG IN MY HEART..(twice that I know of..because I got prints from TCM on both times it showed)

BY THE WAY....I read some chats from awhile back, about the dvd of WASIMH not being very good..color wise. I have not bought the dvd yet...because the copies that I got from TCM and then again, now that it plays on FOX..a lot...are the BEST!! My copies from tv were so good, with the 3-strip Tehcnicolor, that I'm not sure I want to purchase the dvd now.
When seen..as it should be seen..it has some of the most beautiful 3-strip ever seen.

HI Ginger...You are soooo right! She may have been under contract with FOX..but she made a slew of great films before (and during) the FOX contract days.

I really wish people would 'look' at how many )not just Susan's but other stars too)...how many GREAT films came out of lil' Ol' RKO RADIO PICTURES. I think RKO has never been given credit for the excellent work that came out of a studio that was suppose to be more of a 'B' picture studio.

Now...when I look at the beginning of the films that have become 'classics' or 'favorties'...RKO ranks up there right along MGM, 20TH CENTURY FOX and WARNER BROS.

SUSAN...made some darn good films there! So did ROBERT MITCHUM, JANE RUSSELL, ORSON WELLS, CLAUDETTE COLBERT (the bun lady..an inside joke that only Ginger and Jill might remember as to why I call her that)..EDWARD G. ROBINSON, WALTER PIDGEON..well the list of HOLLYWOOD STARS...could go on and on. Just check them out on TCM and you'll see what I mean.
