Susan Hayward Double Feature

Susan Hayward really gets to strut-her-stuff in this dramatic DVD double feature. In Smash-Up Hayward gives a truly dynamic performance (for which she received her first Oscar nomination) as Angie, a nightclub singer, whose slow descent into the nightmare of alcoholism tears her family and world apart. The second feature, Tulsa shows off Ms. Hayward in the role of a tempestuous wildcat driller during the early days of the Oklahoma oil boom. Robert Preston plays the man who eventually tames her when the two of them are brought together as a result of a property dispute.
