[78-L] The Gene Austin Story

[Harold Aherne]

It can be useful in these cases to use the advanced search page:
http://www.imdb.com/list
 
...where we find out that it was an episode of "The Goodyear Television Playhouse"
aired 21 April 1957, and featuring George Grizzard in the title role. Voici:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0591210/
 
I have no insight on how to acquire a copy, but I did check the UCLA Film & TV holdings
and they don't have it. 
 
RCA Victor evidently released an EP featuring music from the production, but
it isn't perfectly clear whether Gene Austin sings on it:

They don't even list it on IMDB,  which is odd because they do list 
thousands of TV movies and shows going back to the 30s.  Given that fact, 
I'd bet it will be pretty hard to locate a copy.

I recall seeing a production still from it in the Blum "Pictorial History
of 
Television"  which came out ca. 1959,  but that's all I've ever
seen in 
print about it.
