[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 233919, member: 7"] [FONT=arial]The show was called [I]Royal Bay [/I]when it aired on television, but when the networks didn't pick it up, they re-titled [I]Della [/I]to briefly be released in theaters instead. It was a pilot for NBC, designed in the emerging prime time soap opera genre. It was roughly seventy minutes, but the network passed on having it as a weekly show. The opening credits seem to suggest that Crawford wouldn't have been a member of the regular cast. The producers decided to give it another name and release it to theaters. I'm sure it went publicized as a B-picture, partly because of its relatively short length, and drifted into obscurity. For the longest time, I hadn't any idea it was a part of Joan's filmography.
