If it's from Premiere it's probably rotted away by now.
Someday Premiere's going to pay for what it did to all its films...
Noel, what did Premiere do with their movies? Can you tell us more about it?
While on the subject of movie productions, let's take a look back at Nora and the movie productions that helped her throughout her career.
Sampaguita Pictures was the movie production outfit that discovered Nora Aunor. She started in movies of Susan Roces, Amalia Fuentes and later on Rosemarie Sonora and Ricky Belmonte.
Her first starring role was under Tower Productions in D'Musical Teenage Idols. This cause a dispute between Tower and Sampaguita. The two companies were fighting over Nora's services. I don't remember how it was resolved but Nora made many movies at Tower with Manny de Leon and at Sampaguita with Tirso Cruz III.
Premeire Productions took her to USA to make Lollipops and Roses with Victor Laurel. Premeire also produced for her Fe, Esperanza, Caridad, a trilogy movie that was directed by National Artists Gerry de Leon and Lamberto Avellana. The same outfit gave her Minsa'y Isang Gamu-gamo and Magandang Gabi sa Inyong Lahat with Lupita Concio-Aquino Kashiwahara as director.
Tower Productions also made The Singing Filipina in the US pairing her with Sajid Khan and The Golden Voice and Nora Around Asia with Manny de Leon in a cruise ship touring Asia. Majority of her movies at Tower are the forgettable type.
Sampaguita took her to Sapporo Japan to make Winter Holiday and My Blue Hawaii, where else, in Hawaii.
Tagalong Ilang-Ilang Productions (Vilma's home studio back then) gave us Nora-Vilma and Christopher in Ikaw ay Akin by Bernal.
Joseph Estrada's JE Productions made Erap is my Guy and Bakya Mo Neneng. Dolphy's RVQ Production made three Nora-Dolphy movies: Kaming Matatapang ang Apog, Jack and Jill of the Third Kind and My Bugoy goes to Congress.
Lea Productions paired her with Walter Navarro in Somewhere Over the Rainbow, and Chrisopher de Leon in Relaks Lang Mama Sagot Kita and Kung Ako'y Iiwanan Mo directed by Laurice Guillen.
Ian Films is another production company that produced serious movies for her like Eddie Garcia's Atsay and Mario O'Hara's Bakit Bughaw ang Langit?.
Regal Films gave us Nora and Lito Lapid in Kastilyong Buhangin, and brought back the Guy and Pip loveteam in the '80s with Bilangin ang Bituin sa Langit, Can't Stop Loving You and many more including the one that feature the love triangle of Nora-Christopher-Tirso Cruz III in Mahal Mo, Mahal Ko.
A lot of new production companies took Nora's services for their initial offering. The outfit that made 'Merika (filmed in New York) and Bulaklak sa City Jail were new producers and never made another movie since then.
Viva Films gave us the Nora Aunor of the 90's: The Flor Contemplacion Story, Muling Umawit ang Puso and Bakit May Kahapon Pa.
I'm sure I miss other movie outfits but these are the prominent ones. With all the money that Nora made for some of this companies, it is sad to think than when Nora Aunor was down and out, none of them except maybe for Premeire Productions (they produced Babae) gave Nora another project. Then, again, a lot of them are not active anymore.
