The Boy in the Plastic Bubble is a 1976 made-for-TV movie inspired by the lives of David Vetter and Ted DeVita, who lacked effective immune systems. It stars John Travolta, Glynnis O'Connor, Diana Hyland, and Robert Reed. It was written by Douglas Day Stewart, produced by Aaron Spelling, and directed by Randal Kleiser, who would direct Travolta in an even bigger movie 2 years later: Grease. The original music score was composed by Mark Snow. William Howard Taft High School in Woodland Hills was used for filming. In 1976, co star Diana Hyland of Eight Is Enough series began a relationship with the actor John Travolta after meeting him on the set of the television movie The Boy in the Plastic Bubble. Hyland and Travolta remained together until her death the following year. Diana, who was 18 years older, died in John's arms. She dies of breast cancer,
This made-for-TV biopic covers the life of teenaged tennis star Maureen Connolly (Glynnis O'Connor), better known as "Little Mo." Making a spectacular debut during the 1951 US Open, 16-year-old Maureen goes on to become the first female ever to win the Grand Slam of Tennis. But in 1953, her carrer was tragically cut short by illness, culminating in the cancer that would take her life at age 34 in 1969. To fill out the film's nearly three-hour running time, writer John McGreevey weaves in a number of non-tennis details, including her love-hate relationship with tennis instructor Eleanor Tennant (Michael Learned) and her romance with Olympic equestrian Norman Brinker (Mark Harmon). Anne Baxter is cast as "Mo"'s mother, replacing Lane Turner. Little Mo first aired September 5, 1978 on NBC.

This movie clip is where two trucks duke it out on the bridge. The movie is based on Bobbie Gentry's 1967 hit song called Ode to Billie Joe. It's about a rural romance between Bobbie Lee and Billy Joe in 1953 Mississippi. Robby Benson and Glynnis O'Connor play the two main characters. No Copyright intended. Made for fun, not for profit.

Based on a well-publicized 1991 Dallas murder case, the made-for-TV Death in Small Doses begins with the death of architect Nancy Lyon (Glynnis O'Connor), who has succumbed to arsenic poisoning. The prime suspect is Nancy's frequently estranged husband Richard (Richard Lyon), who stands to collect an enormous insurance policy. Nancy's family pressures the local authorities to prosecute Richard--and never mind that virtually every person in that family also seems to have had substantial reason to wish Nancy dead. But Richard plays a trump card when he supplies evidence indicating that his wife actually committed suicide--a move that proves to be a thrown gauntlet to relentless Assistant DA Jerri Sims (Tess Harper). Filmed in 1993, Death in Small Doses did not air on ABC until January 16, 1995. The film was directed by actress Sondra Locke, best known at the time for her long association with Clint Eastwood.

"Organized crime has never been so disorganized!" Early theatrical trailer to 1984's underrated mob comedy Johnny Dangerously. Starring Michael Keaton, Joe Piscopo, Marilu Henner, Peter Boyle, Griffin Dunne, Maureen Stapleton, Glynnis O'Connor, Dom DeLuise, and Danny DeVito.
I have sort of a love hate relationship with this movie. There are some things I really like about this film early on, but there are some things about it that don't work well. It starts off entertainingly enough, but the last hour of the film sinks into a morass of over cooked melodrama. Most theater goers at the time flocked in early on to see the great mysteries surrounding Bobbie Gentry's song, athough the story behind it is not supposed to have any connection with the story in the film ...

Most of them left disappointed, bored by a love story that never really develops the way it should, and also to find out that what was dropped off the Tallahatchee Bridge wasn't a whole heckuvalot to get in an uproar about either.

There is no real chemistry between the two of the that I can see.But love it or hate it, it still isn't on DVD, and the latest release date has been pushed back again.
