I, too, finally found it!

I was so excited to find this website through my search for "The Star Wagon." Fortunately, I was able to remember the title of this unique 1960's production which I watched several times on public television when I was in my 20's.

I remember being absolutely mesmerized by Dustin Hoffman's performance; it was clear he was headed somewhere big. And the storyline, ah, the delicious food-for-thought storyline about "fate" and the different paths our lives can take depending on the choices we make.

It was absolutely marvelous, I've never forgotten it and I've often wondered why I've never seen it anywhere since. If IMDb does nothing else for me ever, it has justified its existence merely by finding "The Star Wagon" for me again.

I've finally found it!

I saw this in the late 60s and have never forgotten it. I didn't even remember the title, but decided to search for it under Orson Bean.

What a gem! I saw it along with The Miracle Worker and was blown away by both of them. My kids are the age I was when I saw this, and I definitely want them to see it.

Thank you for this site.

I Discovered Dustin Hoffman

This TV movie made a lasting impression on me. It opens with Dustin Hoffman being an old man. I thought he was an old man and couldn't figure out how I had never heard or seen him before. Later in the story he plays a young man and I realize that the actor is really just a young man, an unknown actor who is destined to make it big. Shortly afterwards, The Graduate opened and the rest is history.

I also remember Orson Bean who got top billing. He was adequate. In the 1960's he was mostly on talk shows playing at being a charming imp.

Maybe because Hoffman made such an impression on me, the story is less memorable. The story was good but not great.

Unforgettable

I saw this on public television when I was 15 and alone at home one night when my parents went out for the evening. I was too young to appreciate the actor behind a character, or what it took to make a character compelling. All I knew was that watching Hanus (Dustin Hoffman) was somehow hypnotic and I wanted to watch it again. Which I did, several times. It was only years later that I put two and two together and realized who it was!

A HIDDEN, AND OLD GEM

I remember watching this in 1966, when it was on TV.

I finally got a DVD copy of it in 2022, so watched it again.....66 years later.

It was worth the wait. Sweet, moving, and profound. Dustin Hoffman got 3rd to 4th billing, which was correct for this, but he and Orson Bean really made the film.

This is the way TV used to be. We miss it.
