'You Can't Take That Away'

The end of the month is upon us once again and I haven't yet fulfilled my contractual obligation to the Blogger community - which as you know by now is the promise to offer up a monthly video of some description originating from the far distant past. Usually from the 70s.

We're only transporting ourselves back in time 31 years with today's production. Revisiting the summer of 1980 to be exact - which compared to all the stuff we've watched from 1974 and 1975 is much more recent, comparatively speaking. The main character in this film had a real passion for living that impressed this cameraman to no end at the time. I'm still impressed all these years later. She'd be well over the age of 50 these days and I can only assume (and hope) that she went on to live a satisfying and rewarding life in the decades after this film was shot. Unfortunately I have no updates to offer our readers in this regard. Heather had a zest for life - a way of making anyone that came in contact with her feel upbeat and 'alive'. "Truly alive... and you can't take that away" as the old Mac McAnally song sez.  Someday we'll add that song to a video.  But not today.
