    Uplifting film

    I remember watching this many years ago. I remember that it was very uplifting to see someone reach literally higher from their confines.

    I remember this as a "made for TV" movie of the time. As my father was a pilot who was rebuilding old planes in our garage, it brought home something extra.

    While watching the video, I was immediately hooked into the drama of a wheelchair bound girl wanting to learn to fly.

    Added to that was the performance of Bettie Davis along with Suzy Gilstrap as the girl.

    The icing on the cake was the Christian Eagle plane depicted in the movie. IMHO, there could have not been a better all around showing.

    An enjoyable family film.

    Julie (Suzy Barbieri) is a teenager who is confined to a motorized wheelchair. She also is about to experience her first taste of independence...she's being mainstreamed and is going to attend her local high school. But like many disabled people, she doesn't like being the oddball and doesn't want to be held back. So, it's not surprising when she decides that she wants to learn to fly! But there is a problem.... Julie is afraid to ask her parents' permission so she forges their signatures. What's next? And, what will her overprotective parents do when they learn the truth?

    The film deserves kudos for actually casting a disabled person to play the lead (though oddly she's listed 7th in the credits on IMDB). Too many films and TV shows (such as "The Shape of Water" and "Glee") just hire able-bodied folks...taking away jobs from needy disabled folks. Plus, considering they aren't actually disabled, they often don't do a great job in the parts.

    As far as the acting goes, Barbieri is good and it helps that she has the able support of some fine actors, such as Bette Davis, Howard Hessman, Marion Ross and Clu Gulager. Well worth seeing.

    By the way, this was Ron Howard's first film as a director. The script was co-written by Anson Williams and Marion Ross acts in the film...and it's like a "Happy Days" reunion!

    Early example of Ron Howard's skills

    I haven't seen this movie since 1981 or so, but somewhere I still have a rotting video tape of it's first airing. I remember it to be very good, and Suzy Gilstrap as the wheelchair bound dreamer inspirational (and she was very cute). Bette Davis gave a very fiesty performance, and maybe it was a little over the top, but she was still very strong and at the top of her game before she had her stroke a few years later. This was also, it seems, Ron Howard's first "serious" movie (the others seem to have been low budget noisy films, love that Grand Theft Auto) and it kinda shows the themes of some of Howard's future projects--people overcoming obstacles to obtain a dream or just to survive.

    I was there!!!!!!!!

    I finally found the site hooray!!!!!!!!!! I write cause I love this movie. They did it in my home town of mckinney and at my high school. I was a extra in the movie and it was so fun. I remember the night it came on tv. I also remember getting to meet ron and anson and they are really fantastic people They actully sat down at the cater lunch with us all and were so nice. If Ron ever reads this please know you are one fantastic person who is a normal human being and you changed my life because your movie gave me so much self esteem about my self.Thankyou. If you would like to know what went on the movie set give me a holler I would love to reminisse about that. Thanks for reading..... Sherrie

    sailplane instructor.

    I was living in Rockwall TX. when that movie was being filmed. I noticed sailplanes over head and was told about a Ron Howard filming a new movie. It rekindled my pursuit of being a solo sailplane pilot. Next week I was off to Caddo Mills airport to pick up sky sailing where I left off. My instructor was an English chap, Derek Piggott. I don't remember how many duel instruction flights ( lost my log book) but I do remember my first solo like it was yesterday. I plan on getting back in the air again this summer. I hope I will not have to relearn every thing all over again and that I still retain some flight coordination. Only one way to find out, wish me luck. TDK

      According to sources Bette Davis wasn't exactly thrilled about working for such a young "inexperienced" director. But after the first day she realized she was wrong and this young man definitely knew what he was doing. That young man was Ron Howard, fresh off his seven season stint on Happy Days.
