  • Whos the 1 idiot that pushed the dislike button????

    Brill movie and ever such a touching performance by the gorgeous mr Cliff de Young....

  • 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 cried when I first saw that scene when I was 20 and I cried again now, so, so sweet.

  • eu me lembro ate hoje desse filme. nunca chorei tanto . linda mensagem de amor .valeu por voce ter colocado essa maravilha.

  • I remember going to the movies when i was 12 to see this film.

    Even watching it today it still manages to make me choke on my tears,

    its such a tearjerker.

    This song is proberly one of the most heartfelt and moving songs i have ever heard.

    And of course cliff de young is amazing..

    wonderful movie but ever so heartbreaking...

  • 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. Or contact Ann contactatsunshinevmdotcom. Great memories! Enjoy! 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 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.

  • Bill Mumy.

  • 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!

  • Thank you for giving me wonderful time, remembering about 30 years ago. I wish I could see this whole movie again. 私の生き方を決定づけた映画、曲の一つです。

  • Say whatever you will about her vanity but this song and the movie made me cry like a little baby, and still does.

  • @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

  • Did anyone notice Bill Mumy (Lost In Space) on the left onstage as one of Cliff DeYoung's bandmates.......????

  • Comment removed

  • 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 -

    I had little sympathy for her.

  • 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.

  • toilettduckk -

    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.

  • its called sunshine

  • 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.

  • a movie about here daughter being older or something? that's all i remember!

  • 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.

  • I`ve never been able to watch this film without crying when he sings my sweet lady. It`s a beautiful song!

  • I like the way the audience finally decided to shut up and listen. Great movie and Great love song from the 70's.

  • I love this movie, no sheeee...

  • 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.

  • Written by John Denver.

    Great vocals by Cliff DeYoung and Billy Mumy. Thank you for sharing.....

  • If you want, you can download this movie vazer in emule, type: Sunshine Um dia de sol(1973).

  • Vazer in the mule? Sunshine Um dia de sol(1973). Doesn't work, man!  Try something better.

  • 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.

  • the subject in this movie had cancer! heather mills lost her leg to an accident!

  • Comment removed

  • She had a daughter, Jill

  • Thanks for correcting me!

  • 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.

  • @ladylike1980 watch the film again, you will get the answer

  • Almost thirty years have passed since I saw this scene when I was around twenty.

    Really, happy new year has come. This has become the finest present of the new year.

    Thank God, or it is Japan here, so Thank Buddha.

  • Please, if you ever find a version of this film please let me know i have looked everywhere as well. Sue

  • with no offense to the late John Denver, this is the better version of his song, this reminds me of someone a long long time ago..

  • Good song:) Is that Natalie Portaman btw?

  • It can't be. This TV movie was made in 1973 and Natalie Portman was born in 1981.

  • Chistina Raines

  • Cristina Raines (birth name Tina Herazo, born 28 February 1952 in Manila, Philippines)

  • Christina Raines... she was also in the mini-series "Centenial", as was Cliff De Young (which is coming out on dvd this summer)

  • Stupid! You must be obsessed with Natalie Portman. Leave her alone.

  • 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.
