By no means unmoved, Dean's response is to read aloud a particularly meaningful passage from his favorite book "The Little Prince". And as he reads consolingly, dramatically; you can see the joy he takes in forming the words, the pleasure he derives from sharing them with an audience, the immense respect he has for the piece itself. The scene plays out as a sort of communion, with Dean seeming to re-absorb the passage as a way of purifying himself. His roommate is mesmerized at this level of devotion to craft and only then begins to appreciate what his friend is becoming, has become. Made For Television. 1976 Color 94 Minutes.
   
Jane Eyre George C. Scott, Susannah York, Ian Bannen, Rachel Kempton, Jack Hawkins, Jean Marsh, directed by Delbert Mann. Hailed by critics as nearly as good as the early black and white release.

Keeping the Promise Keith Carradine, Annette O'Toole, Brendan Fletcher. Based on the children's novel, 'Sign Of The Beaver', this is a sensitive and intelligent period piece, for the most part underplayed - a style which lends the movie a ring of authenticity. The cast is excellent, but the movie belongs to the young Canadian Brendan Fletcher as Matt Hallowell, surviving alone in a cabin in the middle of nowhere. There are several particularly moving scenes, carried by Fletcher's appealing screen presence. Surely he is a big star of the future. There is also a heart-rending performance from Annette O'Toole as the much-enduring mother with a catch in her throat that could melt the stoniest heart. I don't wish to give the impression this is mawkish or sentimental in any way, it isn't, but what keeps me going back to it as well as Brendan Fletcher's performance, is the soundtrack, which is haunting and evocative.    1975 Color 125 minutes

The theme song (by the talented, now veteran songwriter, Paul Williams) still rings in my head: "Leave us alone, we live in the country...etc." Get out the hankies, maybe old, recycled ones, nevertheless, prepare to cry. 1972 Color 73 minutes.

Pride of Jesse Hallum, The Johnny Cash, Brenda Vaccaro, Eli Wallach There are 25 million functional illiterates in the United States, and this film made for television is purportedly based upon events in the life of one of them, Jesse Hallam, portrayed by Johnny Cash, primarily about Hallam's troubles after moving to a large city (Cincinnati). Hallam, a miner since 14 from the Coal Fields sector of Western Kentucky in Muhlenberg County, has no choice but to leave his country home when his young daughter requires spinal surgery in the Ohio metropolis, paid with cash in advance obtained from the sale of his property after his wife's death.

Satan's School for Girls Cheryl Ladd, Kate Jackson Pamela Anderson, Roy Thinnes. David Lowell Rich's "Satan's School for Girls" is an atmospheric, early 1970's horror/mystery which has plenty of atmosphere and some reasonably suspenseful moments. The film is completely bloodless, so fans of gore will be disappointed. The acting is  good with familiar TV cast to boost.

She Waits  Patty Duke, Dorothy McGuire, Beulah Bondi, Lew Ayres, David McCallum,  .

His mother Sarah (Dorothy McGuire) contends that his first wife never left the house and is waiting to get him back. You can probably guess what starts happening thereafter. Overall, the movie has everything that we would expect in such a movie, namely the eerie house and over possessive mother. There are some good lines. For example, housekeeper Mrs. M (Beulah Bondi) says of Los Angeles: "What self-respecting ghost would want to live here?" Lew Ayres (yes, the "All Quiet on the Western Front" star who later became a conscientious objector) plays the doctor.1972 Color.

Voyage Of  The Yes  Desi Arnaz, Jr., Della Reese,  Mike Evans, Beverly Garland, Skip Homeier, Scoey Mitchel, Disk Powell, Jr. This is one of those movies that left you wanting more. Desi Arnaz Jr. puts in a surprisingly good performance and pretty much steps out of the shadow of his famous parents. Michael Evans also showed how good an actor he was. This film pretty much dealt with a lot of issues from race relations to trust. You really see that close to the end as Cal (Arnaz's character) tries to keep Orlando (Evans' character) alive after the encounter with the shark.

Made for CBS Television by Bing Crosby Productions. 1973 Color 75 minutes.

When The Bough Breaks Ted Danson, Richard Masur, Rachael Tictotin, James Nobel. This is a good adaptation of the popular Jonathan Kellerman Novel. Danson and Masur are very genuine and accurate in their portrayals of the dynamic private detective and shrink duo. Danson this serious in a role, and was very surprised at how good he is.
