I saw this movie when it originally aired in 1981 and found it to be one of the most touching and powerful stories I have ever seen. I can't believe that it has been neglected all these years and is not even available to be viewed on tape or DVD. I believe it was the last movie that Henry Fonda ever made (at least for TV). That fact alone should have been a reason to make it more available. I only hope that the film will shown in the future. I, myself, would buy it in a heartbeat! Why is it that some films that have absolutely no socially redeeming value seem to be available on every format and can be purchased or rented with endless possibilities and yet a film like this one has to be sought out through "rare" venues. I don't get it.
