Production and preservation status
On April 4 and April 11, 2007, Turner Classic Movies premiered six films produced by Merian C. Cooper at RKO but out of distribution for more than 50 years. According to TCM host Robert Osborne, Cooper agreed to a legal settlement with RKO in 1946, after accusing RKO of not giving him all the money due him from his RKO producer's contract in the 1930s. The settlement gave Cooper complete ownership of six RKO titles:
- Rafter Romance (1933) with Ginger Rogers
- Double Harness (1933) with Ann Harding and William Powell
- The Right to Romance (1933) with Ann Harding and Robert Young
- One Man's Journey
- Living on Love (1937)
- A Man to Remember (1938)
According to an interview with a retired RKO executive, used as a promo on TCM for the premiere, Cooper allowed the films to be shown in 1955-1956 in a limited re-release and only in New York City.
