Will Bring Tears of Heartbreak and Joy

In my view, this is Tony Orlando's Best Acting Role, playing the Father of a Little Girl stricken with a Terminal Disease. He implores God to Please Let Me Have Her to Love Her Just a Little Bit Longer, and doggedly determines to Run 300 Miles to Pray for his Daughter at a Religious Temple. A Wonderful Film, as he sets out alone and is eventually joined by a throng of hundreds of well-wishers and supporters, who show him little acts of kindness in his undeniable Quest. This Movie is a Triumph of Love. It demonstrates the unquenchable human spirit of a Father, determined to help defeat his own despair, if only to have a chance at a miracle of beating his daughter's illness.
