it was called sunshine , back in 1973 about a woman dying of cancer, and a little girl. i have been looking for this movie for so many years. can;'t find it anywhere. a real tear jerker. Kate Hayden (Christina Raines) is a young mother who learns she has terminal cancer in her leg and must have it removed or die. She decides she cannot live without her leg and refuses to have it removed. As she is dying, she leaves words of wisdom for her young daughter on a cassette recorder so her daughter wont forget her. Her husband, Sam (Cliff De Young) is a struggling musician who reluctantly supports her decision as he watches her deteriorate day by day.

Answer 2

The name of the movie was Sunshine, first aired in 1973, and featured John Denver's beautiful song "Sunshine On My Shoulders. As a kid I watched that movie and cried at the end. Much later I had read an interview with Denver and that movie had meant a lot to his mother, she had lost a sister to cancer. This movie starred a young Cliff DeYoung and Christina Raines and was supposed to be based on a true story, the movie was placed in Washington state.

Answer 3

Denver was a very talented songwriter, and creative people like this can't help but create. The music was there, inside him, and it just came out. For people that have this talent, it becomes a way of self-expression, and lucky for us that he shared it with the world.

Answer 4

I believe the title of the movie was simply "Sunshine" - I could be wrong, but My Sweet Lady was the movie's main song, by John Denver

Answer 5

Sunshine starring Cliff DeYoung
