The Girl, the Gold Watch, and Everything

[nazareneartists]

pam dawber you are so pretty!

[Mark2790]

Twilight Zone did a similar show about stopping time. The sad end was when a nuclear strike was about to detonate above her head and all she could do was stop time, hence becoming trapped and left to wander alone in paused time forever.

[shannonm75]

@Mark2790 same with the original TZ where a man broke the watch and everything was frozen in time forever and he was alone.

[mamabugs]

I was fascinated by this movie when I was a kid!

[cyba2011]

Saw this show when I was young, been looking for it ever since. Now I finally found it. Cool.

[poltergiest11]

2:01 hehehehe

[MarthaStout0202]

Love that movie because I love that concept!

[limboslam]

Pam freaking Dawber!

[MusicSoul39]

i use to have a hard crush on him even though i was just a kid lol

[schronce]

I also remembered this as a kid. The implications to misuse the watch is so vast. What a great fantasy.

[worldwildwest]

Favorite Show Ever !! The [Low Tech] Stop Watch was a Stroke of Genius A Writer And Film Producer's Dream Come True, There Was No Expensive props Involved During Filming Just The Actor And his Magic Watch, That's it !!

[firmingitup]

God, how I wish i had that watch!

[Twifanmom]

I loved this when I was a kid. I need one of those watches right now! I've got so much homework to do and not enough time to do it all!

[goodling76]

ive been looking for this for a long long time and i was only 4 years old when this was on the air! After watching a bunch of old Dr Who episodes i kept thinking about this movie.

[MtDewFan713]

I like the way Pam Dawber has fun with the watch

[DVDluvr123]

Mindy said Hell. I'm officially freaked out now.

[Dkong445]

the girl that gets stripped is hot

[occoastline]

Check out The Girl The Gold Watch and Dynomite!

Also this helped inspire 1999's "Clockstoppers!

Thanks for the post!

[hypnotizeme100]

belive it or not, I have the complete movie of this.

[rongravy]

This is my favorite part, the bikini part. As a kid I wanted to see her boobs so bad, lol.

What is the name of the other movie with the other guy playing the lead role? I forgot. I'd love to have both on dvd.

[VipermanSBD]

@rongravy The actors name was Robert Hayes who did Airplane!

[rongravy]

@VipermanSBD There is another movie about the watch, I'm not talking about Airplane. This other one had the guy that used to do Hardees commercials wayyyyyy back in the day I think.

[vidayverdad2]

I remember this, too! I recall that this didn't air on a network, but was syndicated, mostly on independent television stations, which was a rare way to broadcast a TV movie.

[pinkBEAT1]

I remember this. I came looking for the show and found it! Yay! Thanks for posting it.

[pinkBEAT1]

I also wish I had one of these watches. LOL.

[fooby]

Thanks for the clip. The book is pretty good actually.

[luxzg]

Hehe, I see I'm not the only person remembering this old movie :D I too watched it as a kid, and I've just seen a movie Cashback and thought about this one.. and here it is :) I'm trying to download a whole thing, I sure hope it's available.. because I'm sure I'll never find this for sale anywhere.

Thanks for this little clip, now I'm 100% sure that's the movie! :)

Any other movie like this except Clockstoppers?

[AscadianWoW]

clockstoppers (2002) is much better^^

[luxzg]

That's like saying that your computer is way better than ENIAC.. And it's true, but you should never forget that this is a movie from the 1980's!! Flashy effects weren't available back than..

I can't wait to watch this whole movie again.. though I'll try to find Click and Clockstoppers as well, and any other "time-stopping" movie I can find.. because I sooooo love the idea of a time stopping :)

[skateboyy31]

I also have been wanting to see this movie again!!! I have been looking for it for years.

[brendabaloyan]

TV Movie from the Summer of 1980! Rare Movie! Hard to Find!

[Legendofzoom]

holy shit ..someone finallyposted this show......I knew this guy from AIRPLANE was in this show but I always thought the title was the GOLDEN WATCH.......thank you for posting this......When i was kid watching this ,...I always wished I could stop time with that watch....I wanted that GOLDEN WATCH

[moonrice555]

Holy cow, does this make me feel old! xD

[shampoovta]

My brother and I loved this movie too.

[grizzlyguy39]

I loved this movie. Doesn't anyone have this on tape?

[pinkBEAT1]

I came here looking for this show and viola, here it is. I wish they had this on DVD and I wish I had that watch! Thanks for posting this!

[boobielabug]

OMG! Why didn't I think of youtube before? It's amazing when I find stuff like this... I mean... I thought I was the only weirdo who remembered this crap! I SO wanted (hell, STILL want) a watch like that!

[treewhore]

bad acting at it's best.

[gaIIery]

Jill Ireland was in this, too.

[FurrBear]

I would *MAIM* for a good copy of this movie!

[limeorange2]

I WOULD, TOO! LOL! I loved this movie when it first came out--and I have been looking for it ever since! Someone should re-make it, yet I still want to own a copy of the original!

[dilemmed]

yeah i wanna see it again too. where can it be found?

[W0BGTI]

i've been looking for this movie for ages now... Do you have this movie in digital format? If you do, upload the movie to stage6 dot divx dot com and let us know - please! hehe

[ffcracker]

I would love to get a copy of this movie! I saw this back in the 80's when it came on and have never forgotten about it.

[Bogframe]

Where the heck did you find this? I've been looking for a copy since I first saw it on TV around 1980 or so!

[kdub10009]

Oh my god, i LOVED this movie!!!!

[SchoolofSoul]

I loved this TV movie when it was first on! It's been a major part of my fantasy life since then. If I had one of these watches, I would SO abuse its qualities.

[143AC]

There's a scene before this..where

Ms.Dawber gets into bed with Mr.Hayes

and not her boyfriend.."Bernie The talent

Agent".

[shannonm75]

That's kind of like the Twilight Zone. Never saw this before though.

[neckstabfilms]

I need to find a copy of both. The Time gimmick in this is brilliant. This totally freaked me out as a kid. I agree with lightbeinglynn.... so cool to see again.

[bingbong35]

Oh, I remember Morgan Fairchild being in the second one also.

[bingbong35]

There was a sequel called "The Girl, the Gold Watch and Dynamite!" but none of the originals returned for it. Lee Purcell replaced Pam Dawber and I don't think Robert Hayes came back either.

[dcmacinnes]

The only actress that was in both was Zohra Lampert (from the old Goya ads, "Goya, oh Boya!"

[bingbong35]

Right. Also I remember seeing Zohra Lampert opposite Paul Newman in an old b/w movie from the 1950's. I always thought that Zohra's voice sounded just like Doris Roberts.

[GDuck]

I remembered it well. When I saw previews for Adam Sandler's movie "Click," I was like, "Wait...I've seen that movie before...in the 80's!"

[lightbeinglynn]

OMG!!!! I thought I had made this up in my own mind its been so long since I've seen this. YAY!!!!! EPIC.
