    • Trivia
      Susan Oliver, who plays the flying instructor for Amelia Earhart in early scenes, had been an actual pilot for a dozen years at the time of filming. She was a co-winner of an annual Powder Puff Derby race from coast to coast at one time, and she also had piloted a small plane across the Atlantic. Oliver had a glider pilot's license, a commercial pilot's license, multi-engine and instrument ratings, and was qualified to fly co-pilot in twin-engine Lear jets. She had 850 flight hours logged, 80 in jets.

    'Amelia Earhart-' The Woman that Got Away-Gone With A Wind ****
    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.
