The Point (1971) Part 1

[pauljohm]

Thank you for posting this. I remember it very well and have over the years wished I could see it again. Excellent!!

Actually Harry Nilsson narrated the story on the album, but the original TV showing of the point was narrated by Dustin Hoffman.

This is not the 1971 version Harry narrated the original version!

[Lyzistrata]

I wish that I could find a copy of the original version of The Point. Ringo is okay, but Harry narrated the original version. It's a remarkable video that contains remarkable music. "To be or not to be, that is the point."

Its a shame that we cant get a copy of the original. There have been four different versions made and the first one narrated by Dustin Hoffman was the best. Thanks for posting this timeless classic.

Okay, I'm watching this for the first time. I just stumbled across this, let's see how it is.

Thanks for posting. I saw this once.. when i was 10, in '71 and have never forgotten it. My brother, who's 10 years younger than i never did see it, was nicknamed Oblio. He had a jacket with a pointy hood when he was a baby....He's 38 now and he still is often referred to as Oblio by my family..

OMG my parents showed me this when i was like 3 and i just remembered it yesterday and couldnt find the tape THANK YOU

[fhufid]

I love this movie, my dad bought if for me and told me about watching it when he was a kid.

[guitarzrcool]

I had it on the album and saw the cartoon on BBC. I was 6 years old, 39 years ago and I'm not completely burnt out. OMG I remember all to clear. what a gem. Thank You!!!

[assninjalolo]

OH man this whole movie is like a big band-aid for my soul.. thank you so much. Fond memories for me.

[sparkypeeps]

Wow! They made a movie of this!

I always used to listen to it on my grandad's old recordplayer, and then I got it on CD for my birthday a few years ago.

If only I knew about this years ago. I'm a big Nilsson fan (even though I'm 18).

[guitargeekfoob]

i believe the movie came out first...

[maimol08]

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS!!! i havent seen this in years

[allrightguy89]

I'll bet you anything that Ringo Starr is the voice of Oblio's dad! Sorry if anybody has already "pointed" that out.

[FallenAngelNight]

I remember when my mom showed this to me back in 1994... O_O

[Rabbit0]

That's for posting this.

"...and I figured if everything else had a point, then I must have one too."

Wisdom!

[Aluenvey]

Seems to have a good point. But whats the point? Right in your eyes, thats what.XD

[MetaruRyuu]

[AwesomeGirl86]

Wow. I haven't seen this since I was in Middle School! We watched a li'l bit of it, but we didn't finish watching it. :(

But thanks for uploading this! :D

[2Nu]

OMG..

I have not seen this film since it aired on ABC back in 1972! The dialog was a bit over my head at the time (I was 9) but it still left an indelible impression on me.

Soo reminiscent of the Schoolhouse Rock and Sesame Street animated shorts of that wonderful era.

Heh.. it definitely has that late 60's post psychedelic flavor to it too (a la Yellow Submarine)

And those voice overs!.. soo familiar to me from those Rankin Bass holiday specials too!

Thank You, Thank You, THANK YOU!!

[emzypoo3]

Bit of DR. SEUSS influence in there too ;)

(THE SNEETCHES) !!!
