I saw this when it originally aired on 1/13/79 as the CBS Saturday Night Movie and it's never left me after all these years. One of the best made-for-tv movies ever produced. It has tons of heart and oozes sincerity. It is, in my view, a MUCH better film that a similar picture made around the same time starring Robbie Benson known as Ice Castles. If you are child of the late 70's and love a good romance, do yourself a favor and buy this on DVD because that's the only way you'll ever see it. It hasn't been aired on TV in decades.
