I Love Liberty (1982) (TV)

An all-star salute to American ideals, commemorating the 250th anniversary of George Washington's birth. Barbra Streisand performs "America the Beautiful" with the U.S. Air Force Band in England; Robin Williams performs a monologue as the American flag; and the Muppets play members of the Continental Congress. Nominated for 3 Primetime Emmys.

From the Los Angeles Sports Arena, this is a production of the great Norman Lear. Opens with a young lad from the Pasadena Boys Choir singing his little heart out, then a long, long roll call (should Jane Fonda and Barry Goldwater ever coexist?) leading to the legendary Burt Lancaster delivering his take on liberty. The final grand scene is a group-sing led by the legend Helen Reddy with everyone literally holding hands. A fun watch just the same.

Choices of the Heart (1983) TV Movie

Choices of the Heart (aka In December the Roses Will Bloom Again) recounts the life and death of Irish lay missionary Jean Donovan. Together with three American nuns, the 27-year-old Donovan (here played by Melissa Gilbert) was murdered in El Salvador in 1980. Constructed in a complex flashback-flashforward style, the film shows how Donovan went from a selfish, materialistic girl to a champion of human rights. Martin Sheen plays the priest who is instrumental in Donovan's turnaround. The increasing demand for the US to withdraw its support of El Salvador's military-oriented government is a secondary but vital ingredient to the full dramatic impact of this made-for-TV movie. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
