yanceycravat Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Have the Dr. Christian films ever been shown on TCM? Since the Humanitarian Oscar is named in Jean Hersholt's honor shouldn't the Dr. Christian films be part of the celebration? What is the status of these movies? Anyone? Bueller?

But I'd like to see them shown. They are all Public Domain because RKO RADIO Pictures (the studio that made them) didn't renew their copyrights. I took a quick look on Youtube and found four of them there: MEET DR. CHRISTIAN (1939) THE COURAGEOUS DR. CHRISTIAN (1940) DR. CHRISTIAN MEETS THE WOMEN (1940) THEY MEET AGAIN (1941) There may be others there if one searches further. You may also be able to view some of them on the site Archive.org. There are a lot of Public Domain films there. I haven't checked for the Dr. Christian movies, but those are the types of films they have a lot of.
