Better Late Then Never
I loved this movie. We have a friend, Hal Oleary, who heads the handicap program at the Winter Park ski area in Colorado. My mom is friends with James Stacy. I can't believe they haven't released this movie, I've tried amazon.com and everywhere else to get a copy, but apparently to no avail! The movie itself is very interesting, and inspiring. I've seen it twice which I believe is the only amount of times they've shown it. Unfortunately it was before I had a VCR, If it came on again, or better yet got released to video that would be great! I think its a true story which makes it all the more interesting. I am an avid skier and thats made the subject matter all the more pertinent to me.
For crying out loud, now why in the world haven't we seen this on television in a while with all of the reruns that there are. To have just one leg and one arm skiing, looks and sounds impossible, but it isn't. Believe me this is a really wonderful drama that will definitely hold your interest. I've only seen it twice and that was before VCR's or DVD's were invented. The casting of Lee Majors, James Stacy & Barbara Hershey are perfect. For a while there you are in the other guy's shoes. You see just what kind of unbelievable courage it takes to hold yourself together and become the very best that you can be, no matter what the circumstances. Extremely entertaining at times with excellent scenery to go along with the drama. I could honestly say that this story on film is worth watching and doesn't leave a bad taste in your mouth. You will most definitely laugh, as well as cry.
Living with a disability can be challenging; it's great to see REAL people with disabilities, like JAMES STACY, playing people with disabilities.Social interactions between able bodies and disabled persons can also be challenging ... Lee Majors was a very credible spark with Stacy.Why am I so enthusiastic about this movie? I have lived with a disability since 1949 - used a wheelchair since 1957. Love to get a copy of this video... can YOU HELP?
The story of a former ski-ier who must learn to live again after losing his arm and leg in the war. Shot on location in the spectaular scenery of Sunshine Village at Banff, Alberta, Canada.
