Just a Little Inconvenience

The story of a former ski-ier who must learn to live again after losing his arm and leg in the war. Shot on location in the spectaular scenery of Sunshine Village at Banff, Alberta, Canada.

I remember this movie vividly from when it was on t.v. I'm sure I watched it at least two different times. I just thought Jim Stacy was the most gorgeous thing I'd ever seen! And he happened to be a very good actor, too. I definitely liked the message that the movie conveyed, but I can honestly say that the best reason to watch it was that Jim Stacy was so great in it. I remember thinking that he would win an Emmy for it, but I don't know if he did. PLEASE, somebody, put this on DVD for us! I remember the locale being very beautiful, and Lee Majors and Barbara Hershey being good, but it was definitely a star vehicle for Jim Stacy.

Living with a disability can be challenging; it's great to see REAL people with disabilities, like JAMES STACY, playing people with disabilities.

Social interactions between able bodies and disabled persons can also be challenging ... Lee Majors was a very credible spark with Stacy.

Why am I so enthusiastic about this movie? I have lived with a disability since 1949 - used a wheelchair since 1957. Love to get a copy of this video... can YOU HELP?

I loved this movie. We have a friend, Hal Oleary, who heads the handicap program at the Winter Park ski area in Colorado. My mom is friends with James Stacy. I can't believe they haven't released this movie, I've tried amazon.com and everywhere else to get a copy, but apparently to no avail! The movie itself is very interesting, and inspiring. I've seen it twice which I believe is the only amount of times they've shown it. Unfortunately it was before I had a VCR, If it came on again, or better yet got released to video that would be great! I think its a true story which makes it all the more interesting. I am an avid skier and thats made the subject matter all the more pertinent to me.

I saw this movie once by chance on TV and it changed my life. I still think about it and wish I could see it again. I was always afraid of trying things like skiing...I might break my leg or worse. Not that anyone put those ideas in my head. It came from inside me. After watching the movie I thought "why can't I ski?" I have two arms and two legs! I tried it, loved it and never looked back. I tried many things that a lot of people would not attempt. This year I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and made it to the summit....at age 61. I'm still looking for more adventures!

Thank you to everyone involved in this wonderful production!!! Kudos!
