Where Love Has Gone (1964), starring Bette Davis, Susan Hayward, and Mike Connors. Both films will be available for purchase on February 28th.
The Mountain
Retired mountain climber and guide Zachary Wheeler (Spencer Tracy) reluctantly helps his younger brother (Robert Wagner) scale a treacherous mountain slope to reach the site of a recent plane crush. Truly his brother's keeper, he puts aside their differences and agrees to help his inexperienced brother on an immoral looting mission. After reaching the crash site the brothers discover a lone survivor (Anna Kashfi)… Zachary immediately starts caring for the injured young woman planning her rescue while his brother would rather abandon her and make off with the loot. The stellar cast also includes Claire Trevor, William Demarest and E.G. Marshall. This one-of-a-kind action-adventure was directed by Edward Dmytryk (
The Caine Mutiny).
Where Love Has Gone
Based on Harold Robbins' dexterously salacious bestselling novel, a young woman, Danny (Joey Heatherton) has murdered a man, who was the latest lover of her mother (Susan Hayward). Danny's father, Luke Miller (Mike Connors) describes the events that led to the tragedy. Bette Davis plays Danny's domineering grandmother and Jane Greer plays her sympathetic probation officer. The stellar cast also includes DeForest Kelley (
Star Trek), George Macready (
Gilda), Anne Seymour and Anthony Caruso. Directed by Edward Dmytryk, Screenplay by John Michael Hayes (Peyton Place) and Costumes by legendary designer Edith Head.
