This Movie Is About.
Wiki.
Della is a 1964 American made-for-television drama film starring Joan Crawford, Paul Burke, Charles Bickford and Diane Baker. Directed by Robert Gist, the film was originally produced by Four Star Television as a television pilot for a proposed NBC series named Royal Bay which was to star Burke as a lawyer and Bickford as his cantankerous, righteous father.
Following the successful film-to-television progressions of movie stars such as Lucille Ball and Barbara Stanwyck, Crawford attempted the same maneuver with Royal Bay, a soap opera in a fictional seaside town where she was the wealthy matriarch and daughter of the town's founder. However, the pilot centered on the two characters that would most likely not reprise their role for the series, mother and daughter Della and Jenny Chappell. This may have been one of the reasons the pilot was released as a standalone film instead of the start of a series.
