Harry Nilsson's "The Point" is 45 years old today.

The film version, that is:

The internet says that the album was released in January 1971, but the film was released on February 2nd 1971. I highly recommend this film.

I found a nice/great review of this film:

why isn't this shown more?

I saw this on ABC's Movie of the Week when it was first shown in 1971. I was in 8th grade then and just loved it.

I think it was only repeated once.

It should be repeated every year like Charlie Brown and Rudolph.

This generation would really benefit from it.It might make them think a little

The messages of tolerance and respecting others' differences never get old.

Plus the music was very uplifting and the characters are appealing

The fact that I still remember (and would like to see)this movie after 35 years must mean something.

Mike Lookinland as Oblio. This film is on par with Butch Patrick in "The Phantom Tollbooth". Also highly recommended.
