I had looked so long for this movie and when I got it it was worth the wait. I have never enjoyed something so much as this. Richard Hatch who is one of the masters of acting in my opinion is phenomenal in this movie as Jan Berry. He is so 180 from the high maitnence Jan. Bruce Davison was also quite excellent as Dean Torrence. I enjoy his works very much as well-besides these two dedicated excellent actors-Susan DuBarry who played Jan's Girlfriend through the majority of the movie was 1st rate.
Pamela Bellwood also deserves two thumbs as Annie. All of these actors made these people quite believable.

I enjoyed this -I reccomend this to anyone.

This rare video of "Deadmans's Curve - The Jan & Dean Story," aired on TV only once in 1978, is excellent! I had been looking for this for a long time and was thrilled to finally find it! My copy, though used, was in excellent shape - both the movie and the jacket sleeve. It tells the story of Jan & Dean's rise to success and fame, Jan's accident, his struggle to regain motor skills, Dean's loyalty to his friend and music partner, and Jan's emotional come-back on stage. I love it!

I have this movie on a VHS tape that I recorded when it was on TV back in the day. I would love to see it on DVD. It may not be 100% historically accurate but it's close enough. Anyway it is a well done period piece and I wish they would release it on a DVD.

This is one of my favorite true movie that I like so much. I never knew what the effects that was going on after Jan had that terrified accident

I watched this movie 25 years ago and I just loved it that I even cried through some of the seans in the movie.

Loved the movie' sad that it hasnt been put to DVD, but otherwise would recommend it for purchase.

This film is great for its time 1977.. I had the hots for Richard Hatch who latterly was in Battle star Galacticca.. The music is typical of California Mid 60'S Surfers BeachBoys and babes beach lovers..
My Mother was an extra in the Film at the end she was just one of the audience but how lucky was she and yes I can pick her out on film... She was given a double album OF THE BEATLES love Songs.. and the stars of the Film Autographed the inside for her ..I still have it today.. I missed the opportunity to go to this Grrr!

My Mum is not with us now gone in 1997 so it's more of a gem to me to see live footage of her in a Great Fun Film...

I first saw this movie on HBO in 1979 and have loved it ever since. I cannot believe it is so rare and not on DVD. Richard Hatch was mis-cast as Jan Berry. Film was otherwise very well done. Jan Berry was a genius. I believe he was a member of the MENSA society. Jan should be admired for the way he fought back and was able to move on with his life & career despite being so disabled.
