Line 21: '''''Living on Love''''' ([[1937 in film\|1937]]) is a feature film released by [[RKO Radio Pictures]]. The film is a remake of the RKO film ''[[Rafter Romance]]'' (1933). ==Preservation status== This is one of the "lost RKO films" owned by [[Merian C. Cooper]] and only re-released in April 2007 when [[Turner Classic Movies]] acquired the rights and showed all six films on TCM. Cooper accused RKO of not paying him all the money contractually due for the films he produced in the 1930s. A settlement was reached in 1946, giving Cooper complete ownership of six RKO titles: The film recorded a loss of $28,000.<ref name="rko"/>▼ ''Rafter Romance'' ''[[Double Harness]]'' (1933) with [[Ann Harding]] and [[William Powell]] ''The Right to Romance'' (1933) ''[[One Man's Journey]]'' (1933) with [[Lionel Barrymore]] ''Living on Love'' (1937) *''[[A Man to Remember]]'' (1938) According to an interview with a retired RKO executive, shown as a promo on TCM, Cooper withdrew the films, only allowing them to be shown on television in 1955-1956 in [[New York City]]. In 2007, the films were shown at the ''[[Film Forum]]'' in New York, and [[Turner Classic Movies]], which had acquired the rights to the six films after extensive legal negotiations, broadcast them, their first full public exhibition in over 70 years. TCM, in association with the [[Library of Congress]] and the [[Brigham Young University]] Motion Picture Archive, had searched many film archives throughout the world to find copies of the films in order to create new 35mm prints.<ref name=tcmnotes /><ref name=tcmart>Fristoe, Roger.
