This is an excellent installent in the John Nesbitt's Passing Parade series. Like most of these films, I think it would have been better without Nesbitt's narration, but it's still quite nice...if a bit schmaltzy.
Billy Reilly (Dean Stockwell) is stumped. He wants to enter a local essay contest about who he considers a really important person but he doesn't know who to pick. After listening to some advice, he decides to write about his father...a local policeman. Why he picked him is for you to see for yourself.
This is a rather sweet film. Some might find it heavyhanded and schmaltzy, but I thought it was quite nice and worth seeing.
