The Loneliest Runner (TV 1976) 1/5

John Curtis is a normal, healthy, happy kid - with one big problem. It's a problem that has him lying to his parents. Sneaking money to use for a purpose he won't reveal. And running for his life to cover up the evidence that would shame him before his friends.
The Loneliest Runner is a sensitie and probing study of one of the least-understood afflictions of growing up: bed-wetting that lasts long beyond the infancy which makes it acceptable.
Michael Landon, the accomplished veteran star of 'Bonanza', 'Little House on the Prairie' and 'Highway to Heaven', wrote, produced and directed this memorable family film, bringing firsthand, traumatic experience to his project. As a child, he, too, wet his bed - and did not stop until he was 14 years old.
