Question
Hi. I am searching for the tv movie THE COURAGE AND THE PASSION. It aired on NBC in 1978. Columbia TriStar produced it.

ISLAND WOMEN, a movie from 1958 also starring Marie Windsor. I have searched forever for the above titles. I hope you can help.

Still looking for DIAL HOT LINE, this aired as an ABC tv movie of the week in 1970 and is the pilot film for Vince Edwards' tv series MATT LINCOLN. I have searched for years for the 16 individual episodes. Thanks for any help.

Answer
Hi Amy,

Still no luck, huh? Sorry to hear that. Still, I do admire your persistence with tracking down such Vince Edwards-related films / TV shows. Don't have much to offer you in the way of a reply here, though you could try the following Ioffer and Ebay auctions with regards the MATT LINCOLN series:

With regards to both THE COURAGE AND THE PASSION and ISLAND WOMEN, I found little information concerning both online, apart from fact that the latter film is also known as "Calypso Island" - see here: http://www.tcmuk.tv/movie_database_results.php?action=title&id=79462


Apart from that, I would suggest you post an inquiry on imdb.com's very handy "I Need To Know" thread here: http://www.imdb.com/boards/

Or, if you're that keen on finding a copy of such titles to view, perhaps you should trying taking things a step further and contacting either TCM or ABC, etc.? You never know, someone there just may have an answer for you.

So, that's about all I can offer in the way of help. Hope some day you do indeed find what you're looking for. :)


All the best,
Ryan
