I Want to Live -1958-

I'll Cry Tomorrow Susan Hayward has a signature role in I'll Cry Tomorrow, a pedal-to-the-metal look at the troubled times of singer Lillian Roth. Hayward snagged her fourth Oscar nomination for the part, which takes Roth from humble beginnings through great stardom and finally into a hell of alc...	With a Song in My Heart - The Jane Froman Story From radio star to wartime inspiration, the life of singer Jane Froman (the incomparable Susan Hayward) was made for the silver screen. The opening titles proclaim it "The story of a girl and the story of a voice. The girl is Jane Froman, the voice is her own" (Froman provided Ha...	Portrait In Black / Madame X (Double Feature)	Imitation of Life	Susan Hayward Double Feature: Smash-Up/Tulsa Susan Hayward really gets to strut-her-stuff in this dramatic DVD double feature. In Smash-Up Hayward gives a truly dynamic performance (for which she received her first Oscar nomination) as Angie, a nightclub singer, whose slow descent into the nightmare of alcoholism tears h...
Smash-Up	A Summer Place Think A Summer Place, and you'll probably be humming Max Steiner's wonderfully romantic instrumental theme song, a hand-holding hit in 1959. The movie itself is similarly irresistible, a colorful soap opera about the passions of a pair of dewy-eyed teens and their straying parent...	Peyton Place Nominated for nine Academy Awards in 1957, Peyton Place has become synonymous with torrid soap opera. Though the novel by Grace Metalious is even more sensational, the movie provides plenty of tantalizing story turns--secrets, adultery, rape, bitter parents, frustrated teenage...	Imitation of Life (Two Movie Collection) 1934/1959 Imitation of Life (1959) The last film in Hollywood of director Douglas Sirk (Written on the Wind), the 1959 Imitation of Life--an adaptation of Fannie Hurst's novel--is an endlessly fascinating film that speaks volumes about the American journey toward materialism and the racial...

A Virtuoso Performance By A Legend!
Susan Hayward won the Academy Award in 1958 for her performance of a woman on death row. Probably the best thing Hayward ever did, one gets the sense that her character is wrongly accused of murder. The story and plot move at a great pace, and all the performances are strong. Direction is also superb. A great way to spend a Sunday afternoon watching an Oscar performance in the making. The film comes in widescreen and the only extras are the trailer. Highly recommended.

Susan is unforgettable
I Want to Live is an excellent example of how the press can influence people. Barbara Graham got in with the wrong crowd and they were quite willing to let her take all the blame. The truth comes too late. Does this sound familiar? I enjoyed the movie when it first came out and now enjoy it as a senior citizen!

I want to live
I had seen this movie years ago and was not disappointed watching it again. The company sent the product in excellent condition and in a timely manner. I would not hesitate ordering from this distributor again.

sucker for oldies
I remember watching this with my Mom (now deceased) and how strong a movie it was for the age I was at. I had not seen it since and I do buy alot of old movies besides new, very versatile mix, but Susan Hayward is a legend too.

Unforgettable Susan Hayward.... and Robert Wise
Susan Hayward was and still remains one of the most enduring Hollywood actresses of her era. In "I want to live" she is no less than extraordinary, extremely moving,irritating,horrible,beautiful..... Under the brilliant direction of classic director Robert Wise, she and the supporting players have acted a true classic. I don't want to forget to mention the riveting music score which accompanies each step of the story. Wether the story is accurate or not is secondary.The monstruous cruelty of death penalty (wether one is guilty or not) is the issue. The film shows what human nature is ....in all its aspects.It is a thrilling experience, harrowing. You 'll never forget the face of Susan Hayward in the last 20 minutes of the movie.It 's ALL in her face, hope,despair,anger,torture,relief,resignation,revolt,denial,...hope again,fight ...life...death. If what she does is "overacting" according to some revieuwers here,then I like overacting... She IS the real life....and the real life is mostly rougher than film... The face of Susan Hayward in "I want to live".... will live on and on and on.
