Swanson on film not television · David Sumray · 2014-03-30
I think this is more likely to be a short cinema film - Thoma did make a number of such series - given that the film is in colour and of a quality far superior to television at that time (colour television was not seen by the general public in the USA until 1950, with the first colour broadcast being in 1953). Thoma and Swanson did have a cinema involvement: in 1952/1953 Thoma and Swanson were involved in a lawsuit, where Thoma claimed that a screen test he had made of Swanson was the reason she got the lead in 'Sunset Boulevard'; Swanson contested, Thoma lost the case.
