#OrdinaryPeople (1980)
The accidental death of the older son of an affluent family deeply strains the relationships among the bitter mother, the good-natured father and the guilt-ridden younger son.

Farewell to MARY TYLER MOORE theme song writer/performer Sonny Curtis (1937-2025), who passed away on the show’s 55th anniversary.
He’ll forever be remembered for asking “Who can turn the world on with her smile?”.
But his season one lyrics cut deeper, reflecting the hopes and fears of a generation of young women who were asked “How will you make it on your own?”.
An instant classic and utterly unforgettable.
The combo of the song and the visuals at the beginning of every episode were stunning. As if they were spawned together, fully formed.
You were hooked before the episode even began.
He also wrote "I Fought the Law". Who knew?

A vintage rock 'n' roller who wrote both the rebel anthem “I Fought the Law” and the theme to “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” Sonny Curtis has died at 88. His wife Louise Curtis confirmed to The Associated Press that he died Friday. Curtis was a childhood friend of Buddy Holly and early member of his band the Crickets. Starting as a teenager, he wrote or co-wrote hundreds of songs, from Keith Whitley's country smash “I'm No Stranger to the Rain” to the Everly Brothers' “Walk Right Back.” He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 as a member of the Crickets.
"Oh, Mr. Grant!"
It looks like Hulu is celebrating THE MARY TYLER MOORE SHOW's 55th anniversary by dropping it Sept 30.
RIP Robert Redford (1936 - 2025).
A great actor and director.
Here a photo showing Redford directing Ordinary People (1980), my favourite film with the peerless Donald Sutherland.
