The People (1972)
For younger audiences
This was a "Movie of The Week" from season 3 which aired on KABC (channel 7) in 1972. It aired on Saturday January 22, 1972 and was geared toward a younger demographic. I was 12 years old at the time, and I remember being completely intrigued by this movie.
As a child I felt I could relate to Kim Darby's character, and to the children in the movie. It spurred me to read the books.
Watching it now, (in 2019), the production value seems low; the sound and incidental music is unsophisticated. Although the nat. sounds are nice. But, I thought Kim Darby's acting was good. And I remember it was nice to see William Shatner after Star Trek.
This movie of the week was 90 minutes, so the story had to be hurried along which is never good.
All in all, this is still a nice movie for kids.
