RKO-RADIO
A surprise piece of news came in the announcement that Daniel T. O'Shea, president of Vanguard Films, Inc., and RKO President Charles Koerner had completed a deal whereby RKO takes over production of three Vanguard story properties. The stories are: "Some Must Watch," "They Dream of Home" and "Notorious." Alfred Hitchcock has been loaned to RKO to produce and direct "Notorious." Dore Schary has also been loaned to serve as producer on "Some Must Watch" and "They Dream of Home."
Since Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman were announced as stars for the star roles in "Notorious," Producer Dore Schary may still be able to use them in the production to be made at RKO. Ethel Barrymore, who just signed a four-year contract with Vanguand Films for one picture a year, has already been set for a role in "Some Must Watch." Undoubtedly that casting will stand even under this new arrangement.
