"Kelleymarie Jones" I don't know enough about how the real Olive Osmond was in real life but Marie Osmond's portrayal is embellished and Marie was made to have more a glamorous and dainty look .Mrs. Osmond was actually a woman of the 1940s and had a rugged and robust country woman look to her.
@@obscurelyvaguebut even rugged robust women of the 40s didn't go out in public without their "go to town" clothes, hair do & lipstick! My Mom & grandma were those woman! One of my grandma's grew up & had her brood in 1 room cabins, made the bread & meals, then we all went fishing!❤ But she was also the towns Avon lady & fixed up for "going to town" or dealing with the public! So Marie showing her Mom put together was a part of how they lived! Often regardless of income or class! They didn't waste time watch TV all night & having their face in screens all day! They actually worked & cared about their appearance! ❤ MY Mom can hunt, butcher the deer & cook it up, sew the most breathtaking wedding gowns & clothes, raise the babies, & still look put together! Frankly I don't know how they did it! Raising my brood I felt I often looked a mess with my hair flying! But Mom would say, where is your lipstick? 😂😂❤
My sister Mary had the “One Bad Apple” album when she was about 13 or 14. Around that time her best friend was moving to a different state and since they both loved Donny so much, my sister gave her friend the album as a keepsake to remember her by. Mary passed away last January with dementia at age 57. Up until the end she still loved Donny, and still remembered giving her album away. Rest In Peace my sweet sister. I miss you sooo much! ❤️🙏
I'm 63 and have all the Osmond albums. I play them when I'm feeling nostalgic. I loved all of their music. My favorite album is "The Plan". Favorite song "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother".
Good for George and Olive for refusing to put their sons in an institution just for being deaf! Those two sure went above and beyond anyone's expectations for deaf children at the time.
Nothing like the good old days where family was family, husband was husband, wife was wife, kids were kids and everybody connected to each other with a lots of love!.The most amazing talent ever!.
yeah I know right but everything has to change and everything can't stay beautiful forever but at least we will have the memories in our minds. Sometimes I wish I could go back to the good old days too you know. Those were amazing times.
1:14:42 It seems useless to me that the dad made his boys apologize to each other. Unless it is within each of their hearts then they only did as they were told because they had to. They will only continue to feel the same resentment toward each other inside. I once had an argument with a doorman in the building where I work. He was rude to me. I told the doorman's supervisor about it who then said that he spoke with the doorman but he wants me and the doorman to shake hands and apologize to each other. I refused. I only agreed to avoid the doorman as much as possible so as to avoid conflict. The supervisor said that whoever refuses to shake hands and make up is the true coward and the person whose fault everything is. Heck I am far from being a juvenile and I must be 2 times the age of the doorman and I saw no reason to pretend when the doorman would only go back to being rude to me. Apologizing has to be heart felt, not some ritual so someone else can check a box and say the problem is solved.
I was a huge Osmond fan back in my early teens. Donny was my favorite. Had all their albums and went to their concerts. I am now 65. This movie was so wonderful!
I have always been a huge fan of the Osmond's since I was around 9 years old 🗝️ an saw them at Disneyland the first time an then the 2nd time at Anaheim Stadium when I was 10 years old. And when I was 14 I joined the LDS Church when I was baptized by my Papa 💜
Me too , was kid (7yrs old)when Donny & Marie was on 📺 back then ‘76 . There were only like 5 channels then. Have watched all their shows & documentaries since. Such an inspirational family ❤❤❤
What a beautiful movie. I grew up watching the Osmonds and loved them on The Andy Williams show. I'm between Donny & Jay in age and have always loved the whole family performing. God bless them all. I grew up in a family of only 2 children but had wonderful, loving parents and the way love is shared in a family is what is missing in today's world.. The Osmonds are a prime example of Love and caring for the most important thing in life,, FAMILY.
I met and had a great night with the Osmonds when they were at the Hotel Diplomat in Hollywood , Fla. Marie and Mr & Mrs Osmond by the front desk in the Cafe where the guys sang. Got a picture signed for my cousin. Mrs Osmond was kind enough to talk with me all evening . She took my address and phone number. Some weeks later she called...I was not home. BUT...Grandma said they had a wonderful long conversation. Said they traded a few good recipes. Said it was nice to talk to someone from the 'Old School' . That was one of two times I met the Osmonds. The Miami concert I met Mrs Osmond . I was pushed into the metal gate and got a bruise on my temple. Mrs O came right over and had to make sure I was ok. Grandma was there and said simply, "Once a Mom...always a Mom. Does not matter who's child it is."

Marie did a great job portraying her mom. I enjoyed this movie very much. I am currently reading a book about Olive Osmond written by Virl and am finding she was quite a remarkable lady!
Teressa J the only decent fan club that I ever belonged to was the Osmond Family club, that they ran themselves. Olive wrote a column for the quarterly newsletter, about herself and the family.

Feb 7, 2020: Thanks for sharing this movie! I've watched it several times; a sweet story! My first boyfriend and the true love of my life, Sgt Manuel R. Martinez, 23, was killed in an auto accident on Aug 22, 1975 south of Santa Fe. Returning to Albuquerque from a long work week at the Farmington mines, he tragically rolled his 240Z Datsun. Manuel trained as a Marine at Camp Pendleton (radio operator), served a year in Okinawa and was a member of the VFW, Catholic Church & Carpenters Union. Still in high school, we exchanged letters often. By the time I graduated, I knew I had fallen in love with him. My mother never approved. Then....he was gone. Manuel graduated from West Mesa High School in 1970 and participated in track & field. Manuel's shy grin, warm heart, gentle spirit and strong work ethic were endearing traits to those of us who loved him. KATRINA
Our parents are still “Side by Side” in Paradise awaiting us to join them. Our Spirit bodies never die but are pre-mortal children of God. Because my parents had their temple marriage ‘sealed in heaven as well as on earth, for time and for all eternity’, not ‘till death do you part’, they and we their children will be together forever! With God’s ‘Plan of life’ we can all return to our Heavenly Father and Mother again and live ‘Side by Side with them, too!
Alan-just wanted you to know how much you and your family influenced my childhood. As a matter of fact when I was 5 my mom took me to see The Osmond Family in Birmingham, AL. I have never forgotten that concert and I remember Jay waving at me from the bus as you all left the arena. God bless you all.
Amen Alan !! Your family has shown the world how to entertain with dignity, talent and honour without giving up your values! “ In the sweet by and, we shall meet on that beautiful shore”
Loved it !! What a beautiful movie . I'm 60 now but in my teen years I remember hearing, and falling in love with Donny Osmond and his music. It's really nice to watch this movie about how it all came about. Thanks so much for taking the time to share this with others , so like myself they to can enjoy and learn from it ! :):):):):)
Brenda Taylor.... I'm also 60 and Donny was my first love......12yr old me made my parents rush like mad to get to my nans so I could watch him singing Puppy Love on Top of the Pops! I still love him now in all honesty!
Loved him too! My girlfriend had posters of him all over her bedroom back then and for my 12th birthday my grandparents got me tickets to the Osmonds concert and an extra one to bring a friend. I took her ...
I had the greatest thrill last Sunday to see Donny & Marie perform live at Ceasars in Atlantic City and they are absolutely FANTASTIC AND HARD WORKING performers. If you are reading my comment and have the opportunity to see D&M, do not pass up the chance, it is truly an AMAZING show!!! I have always admired the Osmond family. Not only are they role models, they are proof that when you hold tight to your beliefs/morals, you can succeed in show business! I applaud Mr. & Mrs. George Osmond, may they rest in peace! Lastly, thank you so much for uploading this wonderful film about a wonderful family!!!
They still look good too...I can't believe how gorgeous Marie still looks...and she is way older than me...and Donny, I saw them in an interview not that long ago...it's all that CLEAN living...and positive thinking... I think
After watching the competition where Donnie was the Peacock the mask singer I have done nothing but watch Osmond movies. I really liked the TV series that Marie did called maybe this time very enjoyable. When the Osmonds came onto the scene I was busy being a youth and the Beatles for the big thing at that time of my life. But now that I’m older I am thoroughly enjoying anything The Osmonds have done
I was born in 1961 so your know I know all about the osmond by the 70s I was about 13yrs old. Now I'm 62..anyway all I know I was so in love with wayne..I love his eyes so chinese..lol . they all had their mom hair too...God Bless you all and your Beautiful Families
Have loved the Osmonds since I was 10. their parents gave them an amazing foundation by which to live their lives and raise their own families. they had a big impact on me growing up in helping me shape my beliefs and how i wanted to live my life. love seeing them when i can on tv. had the privledge of seeing them a few times in concert growing up as well.thanks for the memories ,what wonderful ones I have.
This is a rare gem! I love all of the family and I applaud Mother and Father Osmond for standing up to a system that wanted to destroy the family. That scene made me cry.
Wow! What a great movie. If only all families were like them this world would be a better place. God bless you George and Olive may you rest with the Lord in peace.
"I'm alittle bit country" and definitely a fan of this charming and fun recounting of how our talented performing family came to be. Stay safe everyone!
Didn’t know there was a movie about the osmonds. I didn’t know Marie osmond played in a movie either. Not only is she an amazing singer but this movie shows her many talents! ❤
This is the most best beautiful story I’ve ever seeing this movie is a good example how loving family’s should be, olive and gorge Osmond set good examples for there children 😊👍
I an very familiar with the Osmonds. Loved their music growing up. Never seen or heard of this movie. Absolutely wonderful!!!! I'm 54 years old and I do not watch any of the garbage out there now. Nice to watch an old fashioned love story without profanity and all the rest.
I just had to write with a "Big Thanks" for posted this video. I have been looking for years for two movies, this one and Inside the Osmonds and both have now been posted on youtube. Love love love the osmonds!!!
@@alanosmond3131 Greetings from Australia. My best friend Diane and I are your biggest fans here. Still play your records. Thanks for the wonderful memories we have of you all.
I loved this! I grew up listening to these guys on their records, and later, watching Donny and Marie. She did a wonderful job on this! It was a beautiful movie!
They raised a beautiful & talented family. I had the pleasure of hearing them sing A cappella in 1974 in our church. I invited some of my friends from school. They were amazed that they could be that close to the Osmond’s.
God Bless Olive. She made sure that although they couldn't Sing or be part of the Act, she made sure that they were just as important. In future years, Tom & Virl admitted that although it was hard sometimes to see their Brothers be one of the Biggest Boy Bands at one time in the World, they were happy that they could be "regular people". They also worked behind the scenes in future years.
@Katrinka San Francisco Bay Area Hi. I know you were answering a specific question for someone but that's good to know. I'm always looking for old movies. If they did have something I was looking for I'm sure they would mail it to me I hope. Thank you for the information.
I don't know how i missed this when it first aired. It is pure goodness and testimony to God, faith and family !!!! Love all the Osmonds since I was old enough to know who they were, although like most preteen girls, Donny was, and still is, my favorite !!! Amazing movie of family's beginnings !!! I know that Mrs. Osmond loved all her children equally, but I have to imagine her thrill to finally get one little girl out of all the boys ! And did not know there were so many grandchildren and great-grandchildren ! Has it ever been documented online the ratio of girls to boys in the grands and great-grands ?? I believe boys tend to run a bit ahead in the numbers !!
I had thought that care of the deaf had surpassed automatic institutionalization by this point. Maybe unless the family had an above average income? I think the Keller family did.
I love this movie. I used to watch it all the time as a kid. I had it recorded from television and my copy said every time it went to commercial, "Side by Side: The Osmond Family Story starring Marie Osmond and Timothy Bottoms. Now that I'm older I see it is his brother Joseph Bottoms that plays the part.
I wish The Osmonds had made more movies about their walk with God. They were an inspiration to millions all over the world and still are. I'm grateful to them for sharing their Family & Faith with us all. God Bless
@@scootergurl48 Mormons are not Christians. They are considered a cult because they follow the Book of Mormon: another Testament of Jesus Christ, which contains the teachings of their founder, Joseph Smith. He claimed that an angel named Moroni appeared to him and gave him a new revelation, which the Mormons believe ranks higher than the Bible. Their Book of Mormon has been rewritten and altered many times from the original so-called "revelation." It contains some very strange teachings, including that Jesus and Satan (Lucifer) are brothers (both sons of God) from the planet Kolab. True Christians believe that the Holy Bible is the inerrant Word of God and our only authority. The Bible teaches that all humans are born into this world as sinners (enemies of God) and in need of a Savior from God's just punishment that we deserve. We cannot save ourselves by good works. Salvation is a gift given by God's grace alone though faith in Jesus Christ for God's glory.
@@mumsie2739 Mumsie Thank you for your interesting information. Much of what you said I already knew, but there were some things that you mentioned that I did not know, things that are very important in following Christianity and not some cult. I once had a boyfriend who was LDS and he took me to some of their Friday night dances. They were the nicest, most honest, and decent people you could ever know. Saddens me that this is their faith. The Osmonds are also good, kind, decent folks who, sadly, follow in this cult. A crying shame, isn't it? Joseph Smith's claims would not be something that would make me convert. Three Mormon young men came to my door once and asked me about my beliefs. I asked if they had a Book of Mormon that I could read and they left me one. I read it for about 5 minutes and thought what nonsense and never read it again.
@@scootergurl48 Yes, they are Christians. They belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Jesus Christ is the foundation of their church.
Oh my gosh!Such a very great movie!I loved how Marie Osmond portrayed her mother in this movie!I'll keep on watching this movie just as long as it's on RUclips!
George Osmond was like that James Brown Song "Papa Don't Take No Mess". George & Olive were amazing Parents. The Values he taught them still apply today.
Except for investing all that money. Not a cent while they were performing. If it wasn't for Donny and Marie in Las Vegas they would all be broke. With huge families. How does one reconcile being in Las Vegas, the most reprehensible, disgusting city in the world with them performing there? Because they had to when it became a cash cow. For 11 years.
@@johnkuipers7829 They were too trusting and naïve and they conveniently forgot that when your Biggest Fans are Young People they are so fickle and find someone new to love. They talked about how they "lost" their Money in a UK Documentary. Also they really felt the people working with them would take care of them and they never do. Ronald Isley of The Isley Brothers went to Prison for Three Years for non payment of Taxes and he may have lost his Catalogue.
@@johnkuipers7829 Not so. Our own investments that Father made saved us from hurting anyone else . We payed our own debts after we had been hurt by others. It’s why we didn’t take the easy way out with “bankruptcy”! 🙏
I'm going to have to say the Jacksons were. But I love the Osmonds. Donny and Marie were my favorites I was about nine years old when I used to watch the Donny & Marie show. I still have my Donny and Marie Barbie's. Donnie and his purple socks..... devastated when I lost one.
What a wonderful beautiful special tribute to George and Olive Osmond ✨💕💕💕 I Love the Osmond family for the beautiful people . They touch my heart 💖 with goodness and heartfelt gratitude of Christ like attributes . This is what connects me to their incredible souls . 💕💕💕 Thank you 💗🙏💗 God Bless ✨
I am very pleased i watched this movie. I really enjoyed watching the family grow , prosper and develop into a loving and talented family. Although life must have been hard at times they still loved each other very much.
I've also met all of the performing Osmonds and was even in a Donny Osmond video for "Soldier Of Love" that he filmed at Disney MGM studios. They're all very lovely people.
This was a wonderful movie..and even though I have never met any of the Osmonds in person I got to see two concerts about 30 years ago and it was fantastic. I got to see Father Osmond from afar and got to shake hands with Marie when she can down to sing.
Wow! What a great family movie! This brings me back to the days when I was a child and the family would all sit down at meals together and hold hands and pray and it's true families that prayed together stayed together and I think back to the Osmonds and am forever grateful for their God given talents and I smile with the comedic routine between Donny and Marie about Donny's purple socks. If I had a time machine I would go back to the 70s even if for just one more day...
Here's a fun fact. This Year Tiger Beat's Sister Magazine Right On will be celebrating it's 45th Anniversary. It made history by being the First African American Teen Magazine and did you know that Mrs. Osmond and Mrs. Jackson have the Same Birthdate.
You could tell the parents loved each other dearly.They did not compromise their values.They both loved all their children.To have parents like these are a treasure.My mom and dad were liked them in many ways.A Godly household is so important in a marriage.
Can one even imagine if George and Olive Osmond never had more children based on their doctor’s recommendation. There would be no entertaining Osmonds as we know and love today. I love this family story.
Did you know when I (Alan) was born, my Mother Olive had an out of body experience? “She felt she was up near the ceiling and got mad that the doctor was slapping her face”! This is evidence that we are “two bodies: one of Spirit, a ‘child of God’, and one of flesh and bones, a child of our earthly parents! After we die physically, our Spirit goes to the Spirit world or Paradise, and after we are Resurrected, thanks to Jesus, we get our physical bodies back again, as good as new, and the “two bodies” are joined together again; never to be separated again! (I saw my parents in the Spirit world in a very vivid dream. They looked about 20 years old!!!) Alan
This was a great movie! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this for the 2nd time!!! Takes me back when I used to watch the Donny and Marie Variety Show!!! Beautiful family and beautiful ending to a wonderful story about a wonderful family... May God continue to bless each one of them individually and collectively...🙏🏾❤️💯
I've been looking for this movie for at least twenty years. I haven't been able to find it listed on any television network that I can pick up, and I couldn't find it online/RUclips, until two days ago after starting to search RUclips again after a few years. Thanks so much for sharing!

With God’s ‘Plan of life’ we can all return to our Heavenly Father and Mother again and live ‘Side by Side with them, too!
God bless you Alan, and all your family. I've been fan since the 60's, and will be forever 🧡
Alan-just wanted you to know how much you and your family influenced my childhood. As a matter of fact when I was 5 my mom took me to see The Osmond Family in Birmingham, AL. I have never forgotten that concert and I remember Jay waving at me from the bus as you all left the arena. God bless you all.
Hey, Alan! Hope you are well! Paula

This movie is great and I especially love it because Marie plays her mother and she's a wonderful actress
Wow, that was a really nice and wholesome story. I didn't want it to end.
"Harruet Rabdall" Left me with a lot of questions.
@@obscurelyvague? I’m confused by your comment. 🤔
Best tv movie i've ever seen about the osmonds and Marie playing her mother is excellent
I am very happy to see the movie was mostly about Mom and Dad Osmond with out them their will no Osmonds to go crazy for!
A wonderfull movie about a wonderfull family. I grew up in the 70s w the osmonds.
My compliments to the late George and Olive Osmond on the raising of the most talented group of children.
Marie was so good playing her mother i just love this woman
I do too and I can’t believe she’s the only girl out of that bunch!
must have been hard having 9 kids
donnie fans must love his baby scene

shes is beautiful and talented
Loved it !! What a beautiful movie . I'm 60 now but in my teen years I remember hearing, and falling in love with Donny Osmond and his music. It's really nice to watch this movie about how it all came about. Thanks so much for taking the time to share this with others , so like myself they to can enjoy and learn from it ! :):):):):)
Brenda Taylor.... I'm also 60 and Donny was my first love......12yr old me made my parents rush like mad to get to my nans so I could watch him singing Puppy Love on Top of the Pops! I still love him now in all honesty!
Loved him too! My girlfriend had posters of him all over her bedroom back then and for my 12th birthday my grandparents got me tickets to the Osmonds concert and an extra one to bring a friend. I took her ...
I had the greatest thrill last Sunday to see Donny & Marie perform live at Ceasars in Atlantic City and they are absolutely FANTASTIC AND HARD WORKING performers. If you are reading my comment and have the opportunity to see D&M, do not pass up the chance, it is truly an AMAZING show!!! I have always admired the Osmond family. Not only are they role models, they are proof that when you hold tight to your beliefs/morals, you can succeed in show business! I applaud Mr. & Mrs. George Osmond, may they rest in peace! Lastly, thank you so much for uploading this wonderful film about a wonderful family!!!
They still look good too...I can't believe how gorgeous Marie still looks...and she is way older than me...and Donny, I saw them in an interview not that long ago...it's all that CLEAN living...and positive thinking... I think
Marie looks so beautiful in this film as always and her acting is impeccable.
Yes, Marie is quite fetching in this movie.
Exactly!👍💯
Oh wow I loved the osmonds. I got to see Donny and Marie live in Hamilton New Zealand many years ago ❤
Since watching this movie, I've been watching videos of the Osmonds music and I've enjoyed every minute of it!
Great memories
Daniel
After watching the competition where Donnie was the Peacock the mask singer I have done nothing but watch Osmond movies. I really liked the TV series that Marie did called maybe this time very enjoyable. When the Osmonds came onto the scene I was busy being a youth and the Beatles for the big thing at that time of my life. But now that I’m older I am thoroughly enjoying anything The Osmonds have done
I have the same. Enjoying hours watching their videos on RUclips.
@@deborahdonachie185 cc you yuoùccccccc
I must admit, watching this, really brought back some good memories.
As much as I loved the osmonds grow up I never saw this. Love it ! Never heard of the name Olive until my granddaughter. ❤️
I was born in 1961 so your know I know all about the osmond by the 70s I was about 13yrs old. Now I'm 62..anyway all I know I was so in love with wayne..I love his eyes so chinese..lol . they all had their mom hair too...God Bless you all and your Beautiful Families
The Osmonds Side by Side great story ,great to see the real Osmonds at the end
Yes it was
Have loved the Osmonds since I was 10. their parents gave them an amazing foundation by which to live their lives and raise their own families. they had a big impact on me growing up in helping me shape my beliefs and how i wanted to live my life. love seeing them when i can on tv. had the privledge of seeing them a few times in concert growing up as well.thanks for the memories ,what wonderful ones I have.
This is a rare gem! I love all of the family and I applaud Mother and Father Osmond for standing up to a system that wanted to destroy the family. That scene made me cry.
Wow! What a great movie. If only all families were like them this world would be a better place. God bless you George and Olive may you rest with the Lord in peace.
me, too!
"I'm alittle bit country" and definitely a fan of this charming and fun recounting of how our talented performing family came to be. Stay safe everyone!
I grew up listening to their music and the Donnie and Marie variety show. Thanks for sharing movie.
I wonder how many of us are now singing about the old, old can bucket. This was a great movie. Very interesting too.
Didn’t know there was a movie about the osmonds. I didn’t know Marie osmond played in a movie either. Not only is she an amazing singer but this movie shows her many talents! ❤
This is the most best beautiful story I’ve ever seeing this movie is a good example how loving family’s should be, olive and gorge Osmond set good examples for there children 😊👍
I can see it over and over again, I just love it 🥰
I didn't know they got their start in Disney. That is NOT good.
What a beautiful movie. Most people know the story of the boys, it was great to learn the story of how it all began.
I an very familiar with the Osmonds. Loved their music growing up. Never seen or heard of this movie. Absolutely wonderful!!!! I'm 54 years old and I do not watch any of the garbage out there now. Nice to watch an old fashioned love story without profanity and all the rest.
I just had to write with a "Big Thanks" for posted this video. I have been looking for years for two movies, this one and Inside the Osmonds and both have now been posted on youtube. Love love love the osmonds!!!
And WE LOVE YOU! Alan Osmond :-)
@@alanosmond3131 Greetings from Australia. My best friend Diane and I are your biggest fans here. Still play your records. Thanks for the wonderful memories we have of you all.
I loved this! I grew up listening to these guys on their records, and later, watching Donny and Marie. She did a wonderful job on this! It was a beautiful movie!
Can’t enjoy movie without closed captioning. I’m deaf. Osmond’s parents raised their children well. All turned out wonderful.
Sweet talented family ❤😊
They raised a beautiful & talented family. I had the pleasure of hearing them sing A cappella in 1974 in our church. I invited some of my friends from school. They were amazed that they could be that close to the Osmond’s.
Meeting the Osmonds family would be a miracle ! Love them!
Beautiful love story wonderful family great movie, no matter how many times I have watched it
God Bless Olive. She made sure that although they couldn't Sing or be part of the Act, she made sure that they were just as important. In future years, Tom & Virl admitted that although it was hard sometimes to see their Brothers be one of the Biggest Boy Bands at one time in the World, they were happy that they could be "regular people". They also worked behind the scenes in future years.

Aww when George and olive both spoke as themselves i felt a little tear
Thank you for putting the movie on youtube :)
Haha. I was in this movie when I was in college. I was a ballroom dancer in the Apollo Dance Hall scene, first date. I feel famous.
I am trying to buy this movie, can't find or get it anywhere, can you help me please
Alison Moore Smith NO WAY!!! HOW COOL. Did you get to meet Marie?

@Katrinka San Francisco Bay Area Hi. I know you were answering a specific question for someone but that's good to know. I'm always looking for old movies. If they did have something I was looking for I'm sure they would mail it to me I hope. Thank you for the information.
I don't know how i missed this when it first aired. It is pure goodness and testimony to God, faith and family !!!!
Love all the Osmonds since I was old enough to know who they were, although like most preteen girls, Donny was, and still is, my favorite !!! Amazing movie of family's beginnings !!!
I know that Mrs. Osmond loved all her children equally, but I have to imagine her thrill to finally get one little girl out of all the boys ! And did not know there were so many grandchildren and great-grandchildren ! Has it ever been documented online the ratio of girls to boys in the grands and great-grands ??
I believe boys tend to run a bit ahead in the numbers !!
I don't know how I missed it either.
She played the Gift , a movie in her twenties..I think that's the name, was very good..
I had thought that care of the deaf had surpassed automatic institutionalization by this point. Maybe unless the family had an above average income? I think the Keller family did.
Tremondous! So refreshingly clean! Marie did an outstanding job! What an honor to play her mother! Don't miss this one!
I love this movie. I used to watch it all the time as a kid. I had it recorded from television and my copy said every time it went to commercial, "Side by Side: The Osmond Family Story starring Marie Osmond and Timothy Bottoms. Now that I'm older I see it is his brother Joseph Bottoms that plays the part.
Fun fact - Marie was in another film with his brother as well.
Well. That was delightful.
No family is this perfect, were it only so!!!!!! A very good movie!!!!
Great tribute to 2 wonderful parents! Enjoyed this immensely! And love the Osmonds!!
I wish The Osmonds had made more movies about their walk with God. They were an inspiration to millions all over the world and still are. I'm grateful to them for sharing their Family & Faith with us all. God Bless
LDS believe in a made-up ‘god’, not the true God of the Bible.
But are Mormons Christians? Some say yes. Some say no. I'd like to hear what both sides say because I don't know the truth but would like to know.
@@scootergurl48 Mormons are not Christians. They are considered a cult because they follow the Book of Mormon: another Testament of Jesus Christ, which contains the teachings of their founder, Joseph Smith. He claimed that an angel named Moroni appeared to him and gave him a new revelation, which the Mormons believe ranks higher than the Bible. Their Book of Mormon has been rewritten and altered many times from the original so-called "revelation." It contains some very strange teachings, including that Jesus and Satan (Lucifer) are brothers (both sons of God) from the planet Kolab. True Christians believe that the Holy Bible is the inerrant Word of God and our only authority. The Bible teaches that all humans are born into this world as sinners (enemies of God) and in need of a Savior from God's just punishment that we deserve. We cannot save ourselves by good works. Salvation is a gift given by God's grace alone though faith in Jesus Christ for God's glory.
@@mumsie2739
Mumsie Thank you for your interesting information. Much of what you said I already knew, but there were some things that you mentioned that I did not know, things that are very important in following Christianity and not some cult. I once had a boyfriend who was LDS and he took me to some of their Friday night dances. They were the nicest, most honest, and decent people you could ever know. Saddens me that this is their faith. The Osmonds are also good, kind, decent folks who, sadly, follow in this cult. A crying shame, isn't it? Joseph Smith's claims would not be something that would make me convert. Three Mormon young men came to my door once and asked me about my beliefs. I asked if they had a Book of Mormon that I could read and they left me one. I read it for about 5 minutes and thought what nonsense and never read it again.
@@scootergurl48 Yes, they are Christians. They belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Jesus Christ is the foundation of their church.
I love the the Osmond family a great Christian I wish them all the best of the world
im only 29 years old but i love the osmonds you are great
I like them also
I'm in my 30's and I just discovered the Osmonds last week - I'm already a huge fan.
At the beginning of this year (2019), I also discovered the Osmonds. I'm 16 and I guess I'm lucky to have heard them just now. 💙🤗🙏
Oh my gosh!Such a very great movie!I loved how Marie Osmond portrayed her mother in this movie!I'll keep on watching this movie just as long as it's on RUclips!
Love it 🥰
I grew up watching the Osmonds!!!
Olive always reminded me of my grandmother and I always thought of her that way.
George Osmond was like that James Brown Song "Papa Don't Take No Mess". George & Olive were amazing Parents. The Values he taught them still apply today.
Except for investing all that money. Not a cent while they were performing. If it wasn't for Donny and Marie in Las Vegas they would all be broke. With huge families. How does one reconcile being in Las Vegas, the most reprehensible, disgusting city in the world with them performing there? Because they had to when it became a cash cow. For 11 years.
@@johnkuipers7829 They were too trusting and naïve and they conveniently forgot that when your Biggest Fans are Young People they are so fickle and find someone new to love. They talked about how they "lost" their Money in a UK Documentary. Also they really felt the people working with them would take care of them and they never do. Ronald Isley of The Isley Brothers went to Prison for Three Years for non payment of Taxes and he may have lost his Catalogue.
@@johnkuipers7829 Las Vegas is "the most reprehensible, disgusting city in the world?" I can tell you've never been to Amsterdam.
@@ApartmentKing66 hahahaha! Good one!
@@johnkuipers7829 Not so. Our own investments that Father made saved us from hurting anyone else . We payed our own debts after we had been hurt by others. It’s why we didn’t take the easy way out with “bankruptcy”! 🙏
The best musical family of all time
not even close. The Beach Boys are.
I'm going to have to say the Jacksons were. But I love the Osmonds. Donny and Marie were my favorites I was about nine years old when I used to watch the Donny & Marie show. I still have my Donny and Marie Barbie's. Donnie and his purple socks..... devastated when I lost one.
All of the people commenting have TASTE! Osmonds, Beach Boys, AND Jacksons? Yes, sir!
I love this & the inside the Osmonds also the temptations story & the Jackson's an American dream all great movies
I'm so honored to watch this movie thank you for making it.
T. G. B. T. G.
Thank you so much for uploading this movie! I am a huge osmond fan since my chilhood in Germany! thanks again.
Beautiful movie, amazing children.
I love how at about a hour in people at the picnic aren't mostly looking at their cell phones (lol no such things existed)
Me too. Family communication with out any body interrupt each others. I miss that love the movie. Marie did a awesome job playing her Mom.
Thanks for letting us know they didn't exist smh
Such a beautiful family. Perfect touch at the end.
What a wonderful beautiful special tribute to George and Olive Osmond ✨💕💕💕 I Love the Osmond family for the beautiful people . They touch my heart 💖 with goodness and heartfelt gratitude of Christ like attributes . This is what connects me to their incredible souls . 💕💕💕 Thank you 💗🙏💗 God Bless ✨
I am very pleased i watched this movie. I really enjoyed watching the family grow , prosper and develop into a loving and talented family. Although life must have been hard at times they still loved each other very much.
I've also met all of the performing Osmonds and was even in a Donny Osmond video for "Soldier Of Love" that he filmed at Disney MGM studios. They're all very lovely people.
Beautiful love story as well as how the Osmonds came to be!!!! I can never get tired of this movie. Thank you, Osmonds for a beautiful story.
The world is a better place with the Osmonds.
This was a wonderful movie..and even though I have never met any of the Osmonds in person I got to see two concerts about 30 years ago and it was fantastic. I got to see Father Osmond from afar and got to shake hands with Marie when she can down to sing.
Just wonderful, really enjoyed it, Marie did an excellent job of acting.
What a wholesome video in times of uncertainty like this. It's like a big warm blanket and cup of Coco
With lots of Osmonds around singing, also! Ha! Alan Osmond
@@alanosmond3131 hi oh my gosh! I thought I replied! Hope you and your entire family are well!
"Why would God have trusted us with these children if He didn't think we had the strength..?" That speaks volumes of George and Olive's faith in God.
Very fitting the real George and Olive appeared at the end.
Yes that was sweet
This movie was very good thank u
I remember seeing this movie many years ago it was even good back then
Hard, hard work for all of them. Great production that kept to the truth. Loved the movie. I remember all of this 💖!
Wow! What a great family movie! This brings me back to the days when I was a child and the family would all sit down at meals together and hold hands and pray and it's true families that prayed together stayed together and I think back to the Osmonds and am forever grateful for their God given talents and I smile with the comedic routine between Donny and Marie about Donny's purple socks. If I had a time machine I would go back to the 70s even if for just one more day...
🌹 I have been an Osmond fan over 50 years. This movie is a beautiful tribute to family & faith. 💐
Thank you for sharing this. From a gal that grow up watching plus following you all in the tigerbeat etc thanks AGAIN
Here's a fun fact. This Year Tiger Beat's Sister Magazine Right On will be celebrating it's 45th Anniversary. It made history by being the First African American Teen Magazine and did you know that Mrs. Osmond and Mrs. Jackson have the Same Birthdate.
Love everything about Osmond! Thank you for sharing the movie!
You could tell the parents loved each other dearly.They did not compromise their values.They both loved all their children.To have parents like these are a treasure.My mom and dad were liked them in many ways.A Godly household is so important in a marriage.
Thank you for sharing this. I've never seen it before. Was a very good movie !
Can one even imagine if George and Olive Osmond never had more children based on their doctor’s recommendation. There would be no entertaining Osmonds as we know and love today. I love this family story.
Also a lot less Souls for the Kingdom of God
Rosary Bordelon Is that how they believe?
Did you know when I (Alan) was born, my Mother Olive had an out of body experience? “She felt she was up near the ceiling and got mad that the doctor was slapping her face”!
This is evidence that we are “two bodies: one of Spirit, a ‘child of God’, and one of flesh and bones, a child of our earthly parents! After we die physically, our Spirit goes to the Spirit world or Paradise, and after we are Resurrected, thanks to Jesus, we get our physical bodies back again, as good as new, and the “two bodies” are joined together again; never to be separated again! (I saw my parents in the Spirit world in a very vivid dream. They looked about 20 years old!!!) Alan
This is a lovely film, partly because the Osmond's area part of my youth and partly because it shows the solid family values that sadly are no more.
This was a great movie! I thoroughly enjoyed watching this for the 2nd time!!! Takes me back when I used to watch the Donny and Marie Variety Show!!! Beautiful family and beautiful ending to a wonderful story about a wonderful family... May God continue to bless each one of them individually and collectively...🙏🏾❤️💯
I've been looking for this movie for at least twenty years. I haven't been able to find it listed on any television network that I can pick up, and I couldn't find it online/RUclips, until two days ago after starting to search RUclips again after a few years.
Thanks so much for sharing!
My first time to c this i love it
Thank you for posting this. A wonderful movie about the Osmond family. Marie was fantastic in this. Great family❤
Such a wonderful wholesome true story❤
