Someone for years used to place an note in Variety noting Ms Hayward: A Star Is A Star Is A Star! True!
This is a political thriller produced by Ms. Heywood's production company Chalmar. Chalmar was named after Eaton Chalkle La Haywards Husband and Ms Haywards real name Edythe Marrener. I read Haward's Will and it was signed Edythe Marrener Chalkley and Hayward went bt Marrener on all contracts, official papers.
Dean Martin is the costar and does his usual splendid work in a key stand out is Wilfrid Hyde White who plays a very corrupt politician. MGM gave this first-class production with Ms. Heyward's favorite director Daniel Mann directing Lawrence Weingarten a senior Producer at MGM was th producer on this film.
.Ms. Haywaard looks beautiful in this movie. This picture was first titled " Ada Dallas" but the title was changed because Susan Hayward and Ross Hunter wanted to remake the Stanwyck classic " Stella Dallas" but that never happened. I am a big Hayward fan but glad Susan did not remake " Stella Dallas". No one cold top Barbara Stanwyck's immortal performance. Not even Susan. Stanwyck and Hayward formed a great friendship and Missy was along with Kate Hepburn very caring for Susan as she battled bran cancer. The great Greta Garbo paid a visit to Hayward's mountain top home in Beverly Hills.
Interesting note: of all the pictures Ms. Heyward made to great acclaim such as I Want To Live, With a Song in my Heart, Smash Up , I'll Cry Tomorrow, Back Street, Ms. Hayward on her deathbed wanted to see a movie of hers and that movie was Ada. Susie was a private person and no one ever knew why she wanted to see this movie but she is reclined in her hospital bed and watch the movie.
