Fun Stuff

Trivia:
Arthur Hailey closely based the story on the birth of the GTO, the prototypical muscle car created by 1960s Pontiac Division President John DeLorean, as well as the executive's affair with model and actress Kelly Harmon, who became DeLorean's second wife in 1969. DeLorean would later tell his own version of events in the best-selling book, "On a clear day you can see General Motors." Forced out of GM, DeLorean would go on to greater notoriety as creator of the ill-fated DeLorean sports car. more

Requesting Video Release, 7 April 1999
Author: Glenn R. Warren from Orlando, Florida

This is an outstanding mini-series, first shown on NBC back in 1978. An excellent cast, including - Rock Hudson, Lee Remick and Fred Williamson. An excellent theme and music score by Morton Stevens. Hopefully, there will be a video release someday of this wonderful show.
