This is a good movie. About a little girl whose mother is sick, and her 9 year old girl is living with an older couple until her mom gets better. She's having a good time, but then the movie goes religious. I love God and his son, but the movie took this new direction. It became more about the church, and less about the girl. Very confusing. The wife of the man who agreed to bring the girl to his home, is not happy with the situation, worried about what the neighbors would think. The movie becomes less about the girl and more about the church. The girl (Cherylene Lee) gives a strong and convincing performance.

+5 The 1973 Police Story episode "The Ho Chi Minh Trail" is a top-notch entertainment piece with a great cast and a double plot line. Some say the episode's message is that a policeman's life is not easy, and that the lives and resources of police are put at risk for no clear reason. In this episode a man, just days away from graduating from the police academy is taken out a few days early to work under cover in a drug deal case. His boss is extra tough on him, telling him he needs him on the case because he's black and will fit in. His wife to be wants him to be an insurance man. The new officer, fresh off the academy finds trouble with the other cops. Great episode featuring Antonio Fargas and Bernie Hamliton (Huggy Bear and Captain Dolby, on Starsky and Hutch) as drug dealers. Lots of action.

Tammy and the Millionaire seemed like a pretty good movie at the time. Debbie Watson did a good job taking over the role of Tammy from Debbie Reynolds. She could sing, and her acting in the movie was good. But this is NOT a movie. It's 4 episodes of the short lived show Tammy. If I had been adult in '67 (I was 6), and bought a ticket to see the "movie", I would've left hallway in, demanding my money back. Putting episodes of a tv show together to make it into a movie is the cheapest way to put something out on movie screens. Also a ripoff. I found the show on YouTube, and it's good, but not movie good. Shame on them!
