Brief synopsis, via IMDb: Michael, a shepherd boy living in Biblical times, finds himself transported to Heaven on his eighth birthday. Michael doesn't fully understand where he is or why he's there. A guardian angel named Patience is given the task of showing Michael the joys of Heaven and helping him find his place in the Hereafter. Adapted from the book by Charles Tazewell... The plot of this televised musical is very different from the original due to the regulations covering children's programming at the time. Michael is never naughty and is always on his best behavior. In fact, actors in these programs weren't even allowed to roll up their sleeves. Summary from the DVD case's back cover: This delightful musical adaption of the classic children's book by Charles Tazewell tells the story of Michael (Johnny Whitaker), a shepherd boy who suffers a fatal fall while climbing a cliff. The guardian angel Patience (Fred Gwynne) is assigned the task of showing Michael the joys of Heaven, but the boy remains unhappy. He briefly returns to Earth for his old wooden "treasure" box and arrives back in Heaven on the night of the Christ child's birth. While all the other angels present beautiful gifts to the newborn Messiah, the littlest angel has only one possession to offer. Feedback from an IMDb reader:This show really sent shivers up and down my spine. I remember seeing this as a child, and it just left such an impression on me. The part when he went fell off the cliff and went to heaven was just wonderful. When he went to return to his house to get a gift for God, played by E.G. Marshall, and his mom was crying and couldn't see him right there was just sad. The end of the show where his gift was the most special gift of all will always stay with me. It also taught me the value of a gift when it comes from the heart. I really want to see it again. It's a Christmas treat! I hope people will show this show their kids. I think it should go down as a holiday classic. I happily combine multiple items for shipping.
