I saw this movie when I was about 12 yrs. old and always loved it, always remembered it. I forgot that William Shatner was in it, but I do remember it was "Miri" from Star Trek who was the teacher. I'm so glad, thanks to google, that I was able to track this down. I will always remember the scene in the woods, where the children play the harmonica, and they start rising into the trees, flying happily, and free. What an image! For a "movie of the week" I couldn't understand why it impressed me so much, so of course now that I see Coppola involved with it, it all makes sense. He's the director of my favorite film, "The Godfather." I'm sure that when I view "The People" again, as an experienced 43 yr. old, I'll see different things and probably be more discriminating, now that I'm more on republican, conservative side of things, as I was in my teens, when I loved all things hippie. But the main story was so cool, and I would love to see it again. Kim Darby has such a hauntingly beautiful, gentle voice and manner, and good ol' Cpt. Kirk was such a fox, back in those days! Also, as I recall, the harmonica song was very pretty.
