Single father Dennis Conway is travelling with his son Nick. They stop in a small town where Nick has an accident and has to spend some time in the hospital. While Nick is hospitalized his father falls for the nurse who gives up the towns secret (a spring that has healing powers and is virtually a fountain of youth). Written by Les MacDonald at <mcmac@mb.sympatico.ca>
If no one in Springville ever gets sick or gets old, why exactly is there a hospital there? Why not just truck sick people directly to the Spring? Kyle MacLaughlin plays "Dad" in his best Fred McMurray manner, right down to calling his son "sport" and "kiddo." I especially enjoy what happens when the Springvillians stop "drinking the water--" as they age, their skin takes on the texture of fried chicken. "What about the Great Depression-- was it really that depressing?!" A nice feelgood corny cheeseball thriller that you can watch late at night and pick on.
