Grunged up with a big beard, a hunchback, and an amputated arm, Richard Harris stars in the acclaimed television special The Snow Goose. He's a lonely lighthouse keeper who prefers the company of birds and animals to his neighbors. One day, he meets a young girl, Jenny Agutter, at the same time a bird has been wounded. Jenny cares about the bird, and he takes them both back to his house to heal its wing. There starts a beautiful friendship.
It's a short movie, and it easily could have been expanded with more character development or story, but it does manage to span a few years as Jenny grows up and WWII starts. If you really love Richard Harris, you can watch it, but I don't think it stands the time very well. It probably had an interesting message for those who lived through WWII and remembered how everyone came together and fought for their country. But now, when the human race doesn't have the same selfless character, it will probably leave most people shrugging in apathy.
