I followed the true story behind this movie while in college (don't ask, LOLOLOLOLOL). By calculations, the young girl is now about 42; the mother would have been around 60.
Anyone interested in the best copies of the 1973 Movie SUNSHINE and/or the 1977 SUNSHINE CHRISTMAS visit SUNSHINE VINTAGE MOVIES online, they have the BEST QUALITY DVD's you can find for these movies and it is so much better to watch the full DVD than bits and pieces. Great memories! Enjoy! My family sure did and you will too! This movie really touched my family and I'm not surprised to see that it has touched the lives of so many others as well. I have a niece named from the movie.
I remember this movie from when I was a young girl too. It came on television when I was about 9 or 10 years old and even now at the age of 40, this is the one movie that was unforgettable. I can remember crying when she passed. What a brilliant film. I would love to be able to sit and watch it again, as an adult and really enjoy it.
I watched this movie when I was a teenaged girl. It is and always will be one of my most favorite movies of all time. I did find it online...also found the 2 dvd set...Sunshine and also Sunshine Christmas. Think I am going to buy it. One of the best tearjerkers of all times!
As a teenager, went to see this with my girlfriend when it came out (memories eh?). It seemed a quite well-known film at the time but seems to have lapsed into obscurity as a kind of poor man's Love Story.
I can't believe it!! I've been trying to find this. I remembered it but nobody else seemed to remember it. My family/friends thought I was crazy. I was 3 yrs old in 1973 - so they must have re-aired it cos' I remember seeing it around 1976. Anyways, thanks for posting it!!
Wow....yes...I remember this movie...I was teenager...and cried and cried and cried...so moving...so touching...it was a true story..I wonder how her daughter made out with her moms notes....
wow! I've been searching for this movie for a couple of years now. This is the most I've seen of it since the 70's. One of my favorites,and so touching. I found the book on ebay. I read that when it came out also. I just don't understand why so many wonderful movies like this can't be brought out on DVD, or even VHS after all these years.
I found it at : jdvds1994 (dot) com I had to spell out the dot cause I couldn't post it otherwise, so take out (dot) and put in . and it should lead you to the site. I have already received my copy.
I have two links on my youtube page where you can purchase it I have tryed to post them as comments but youtube won't allow it but you can get them from my page.
This is one of the more vivid memories I have of a TV show, and I was maybe 5 or so, and it made me cry. Brings back good memories of my childhood though.
Sunshine and my sweet lady were composition of john denver and cliff de young so far is the best version of these songs, how about FOR BABY, i am still trying to find his version of this song..
I've got a copy of the movie on DVD. I had looked everywhere for it after reading and adoring the book. A friend of mine wrote to the Australian Woman's Weekly magazine and a lady from Tasmania responded. She sent me a really old copy of Sunshine on VHS and i converted it to DVD. The quality is quite poor but it is such an amazing film it doesn't matter!
Im soo very happy i found this..thankyou very much for sharing..I saw this film when i was 16 and i loved it so much i named my daughter jill after the baby in this film.Ive tried to buy this film , but i was told it was discontinued.
i TOO ARE LOOKING FOR THIS MOVIE FOR MY TEENAGE DAUGHTERS .THE SEQUEL WAS CALLED ...MY SWEET LADY ..ABOUT SAM AND HIS DAUGHTER WITH A LOT OF FLASK BACKS TO THE ORIGINAL MOVIE ,NOW I KNOW THERE IS A BOOK i WANT THAT TOO. WONDERFUL STORY I HAVE NEVER FORGOTTEN IT .
They later made a short-lived TV series about how the widower and his daughter dealt with the mother's death - I seem to remember them roaming the country on a motorcycle.

The book is by Norma Klein. It is out of print, but you can usually pick up a copy on ebay or from a used book dealer.
Now the movie I have never seen out on video.
