He was also a successful businessman with his production facility in Pioneer Town and commercial real estate ventures in Los Angeles.
Throughout his later years, Sam remained interested in world affairs and traveled extensively as a valued ombudsman for the Directors Guild to cement relations between foreign and American filmmakers. In 1990, the Director’s Guild of America published an oral history entitled The White Brothers which tells the history of the family as well as the history of early movie making in Los Angeles.
Sam White, one of the famous White Brothers film and television pioneers, died peacefully at his Encino home just short of his 100th birthday. A retrospective was held in 2003 at the Motion Picture and Television Home where a wall of honor was dedicated to him. His professional memorabilia was positioned alongside those of his renowned brothers, Jack White and Jules White.

Une comédie basée sur le programme de radio (et plus tard de télévision) de NBC avec Art Linkletter avec une histoire fictive de la façon dont le programme est arrivé à être sur un réseau national depuis ses débuts modestes dans une station de radio du Nevada. Jack Haley est un producteur avec seulement la moitié des droits sur le programme tandis que Ozzie Nelson et Helen Walker sont les écrivains de la radio et fournissent la romance.

Frances Langford, comme elle-même, chante "I'm in the Mood for Love" tandis que le quatuor Vagabonds (facturé 12e et dernier) intervient sur "Angeline" et "The Old Square Dance is Back Again".
