My memory spanning 23 years..., 12 November 1999

My memory spanning 23 years recalls Susan Clark doing fairly well in this bio of Amelia Earhart. In as much as I haven't seen a rerun of this film, and I have seen other bio films about Amelia, I cannot comment much more except I thought it pretty good at the time. I'll try to follow my own advice and try to see this one again. I gave it an 8.
'Amelia Earhart-' The Woman that Got Away-Gone With A Wind ****, 19 October 2009
Author: edwagreen from United States
Outstanding biography teaming John Forsythe and Susan Clark in the title roles of the producer, twice married, who took a chance and married the famous aviator.
Both give tremendous performances and this was certainly one of Forsyth's greatest triumphs in his professional career. He sure came a long way from "Bachelor Father."
Clark has the right spirit and is consumed in passion for her desire to fly early on in life. She makes a complex character come alive in a totally mesmerizing performance. This woman was certainly ahead of her time with regard to her ideas about the roles of women in life and in particular marriage.
With a wonderful supporting cast, this film is memorable. It dealt correctly with her tragic disappearance in 1937 since we never knew exactly what happened. Did she see something that imperial Japan didn't want her to see and pay for it with her life? No one shall ever know.

had she not disappeared in 1937, 21 March 2002
Author: sole reviewer
This film covers the life of the famous flier. No mention of her dog CHARLIE. Some have speculated had she lived she would have been influential in WW2. Influential in flight schools and training women and male pilots also possibly organizing womens coastal patrols to protect from enemy subs and ships. Alas history threw her a curve ball. Some also have specualted her marriage to GP PUTNAM would not have lasted. yet this is speculation. She lived her life in the limelight and disappeared at the zenith of her popularity.
