Hands up if you suddenly remember watching this as a child in elementary school (a like will suffice)
Many years ago my I saw this film in the 1st grade of elementary school. My teacher projected it from a 16mm print if memory serves. One thing I can recall distinctly, is how emotionally she (the teacher) was driven to tears. There was a poignant resonance from the Hollies song "He Ain't Heavy" which evoked my empathy. Now many years later to have stumbled upon this by happenstance and from obscurity, it touched my heart and draws a river of tears from an overwhelming nostalgia and sympathy.
