This song would always make me cry. I was 14 when this movie came out.I believe i remember turning on the tv at the time I thought this song was coming on because it was my favorite part of the movie.
Such a sad scene of this movie...sam played song in the bar with kate emotionally touched on the music with tears of joy and miseries. As I watch and hear this scene, my emotion was also affected and I was about into tears.

I was only 8 when this was a movie and later a tv show spin off but I remembered what it was about. I think I was a mature 8 yr old back then. We had to discuss this moive in class.
We have to remember the Mother in the story was only 20 years old, making decisions....I remember being 20, I think we all make poor judements in life. As to why she didn't decide to keep her life over her leg, only she knows....but I think people with serious illnesses, have their reason why they make the choices they do.....Until we walk in their shoes, its kind of tough to predict. Was a great movie though...Personally, to me, the bummer part of the movie was her dying alone.
OMG, I completely forgot this movie,not the song! ever existed! No sooner had this started and I saw the woman and heard the song in acompliment, and the years just melted away, I was a 11year old boy again! Thanks for posting this and Thanks to Johnny for all the wonderful music he left us with!
@Twom44 wasn't vanity she wanted 2 legs to play and do everything with her child....and 2 legs to do normal things... remember it was years ago...not like it is today ... watch the film again... she explains why xx
Between "Sunshine" and "Sunshine Christmas" there was a short-lived series on NBC, taking place after the death of the heroine (C. Raines) in which Cliff De Young as the widower goes on as a single dad-folk-singer (Bill Mumy and Corey Fischer reprise roles as band-mates). Lovely Meg Foster as Nora the neighbor lady. Critical hit, but low ratings killed it despite thousands of letters begging NBC to keep it on. Way ahead of its time. If anyone has copies of episodes, lemme know!!!
This movie always annoyed me. A young mother learns she has cancer in her leg and must have it removed or die, She decides she cannot live without her leg and refuses to have it removed. Her husband is a struggling musician and since she wants her young daughter to remember her - she records messages on a tape recorder. She left her child behind, motherless for vanity. I felt so sorry for the woman's family. But, she was so vain -
Yes, that was one thing that always bothered me about it, too. It was a terribly sad, poignant movie, and I enjoyed it. But if she'd followed her doctor's recommendations in the first place, she might still be alive and well, even though she would have had to adjust to living without one leg.
I am glad that someone else interpreted this movie the same way. There is not way I would leave my children behind for my leg. Also, I did not appreciate the slant that this woman was somehow a hero for not following doctors' recommendation. She failed her child, I thought. However, the movie was deep and thoughtful. She took the road less traveled and that changed the course of all of their lives.
Oops, I made a mistake with the sequel of "Sunshine", the sequel is called "Sunshine Christmas" Does anyone remember seeing this one. It came out in 1977.
I loved this movie also, and like many I have been trying to track the DVD down as well. Did you know there was a follow up of this movie, with the dad and his daughter. I loved that one as well. I think in was called "Little Lady " or something like that.
On the line of Romeo and Juliet, Love Story. Hey! Great songs of John Denver and great vocals of the actor Cliff DeYoung. Notice Lost In Space's Billy Mumy on the left. My mom loved this movie when she was with us. Want this DVD if anyone knows how to get it.
Oh, man! Forget Heather Mills, Sheeee!! These were the 70's, man, what you talkin bout?!!! Where were you? Political correct-crap did not exist at this time. OMG!! Hun, Linda was alive this year and all this sheee was going on probably before you were born. This entertained us oldies on network tv and hopefully we had color tv to watch it. I'm proud to say our house had upgraded by 1973.
Yes, but Heather Mills was on "Dancing With the Stars" after losing her leg to an accident. The mother in this movie picked her leg over her daughter.
I can't believe I found this! I must have watched this movie 5 times as a teenager and cried every time....I just cried again! I have never been able to find this movie anywhere. Thank you for sharing, really brought me back.
I saw this movie with my girlfriend when we were in high school, a great time to be so much in love. It brings so much memories and feelings I hope she finds this too and be in touch again. Her name is Rose. Thanks for sharing...hssmd
Whos the 1 idiot that pushed the dislike button????
Brill movie and ever such a touching performance by the gorgeous mr Cliff de Young....
