In 1972, Francis Ford Coppola gave us “The Godfather,” widely regarded as one of the greatest American movies ever made. The same year, he produced this television movie, starring Kim Darby and William Shatner. Join us in our incredulity, as we discuss “The People.”
Darby plays a young teacher, looking to sort out her life, who’s been summoned to an isolated farming community to instruct the strange children of severe elders. Shatner is the local doctor, who spends most of his time treating animals. Interestingly, the film, introduced as an ABC Movie of the Week, was a reunion of sorts for the two leads, who appeared together in the “Star Trek” original series episode “Miri.”
If you thought “Witness” was wacky, wait until you get a load of this. We’ll do our best to look plain, on the next Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner. The comments will all be simple when we livestream on Facebook. It will be time for milking, this Friday evening at 7:30 EDT.
