Looking for Ted Geisel (Dr. Seuss) documentaries



We're looking for two documentaries that Ted Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss) worked
on in the 1940s. The first is "Hitler Lives?" which he made in 1946 for
Warner Brothers. The second is "Design for Death," which he made in 1947
for RKO. Both films won Oscars in the short documentary category. Does
anybody know whether Warner Brothers or RKO kept film archives, and if so,
where those materials might be today? Does the Academy of Motion Pictures
maintain archives of Oscar-winning films? Any other suggestions as to where
we might find these two films? Anybody out there have copies in your
collections?

Thanks for your help,

Michele
