The first of a two-part screen adaptation of BROOKE HAYWARD 'S best-selling memoirs
'My mother was a star, Margaret Sullavan , a shining idol of her generation. My father was
Leland Hayward , a producer, agent, a rich, glamorous legend himself. They were happily married for ten years, had three children in even succession.... This is a story of carelessness and guilt; of people who have lived at extremes. My parents failed as they succeeded - on a massive scale. They left behind them a legacy, vested on their children, that only two of us survived.'
Screenplay by IVAN DAVIS and FRANK PIERSON
Produced by WILLIAM HAYWARD Directed by MICHAEL TUCHNER
(Part 2 will be shown next Friday)
