[net.sf-lovers] The People---movie

CARROLL%USC-ISIB@sri-unix.UUCP (11/02/83)

   I think the movie WAS called "The People".  It starred William Shatner
and Kim ( Miri from the Star Trek episode of the same name ) Darby.  She
was a new schoolteacher who noticed all the children in a rural community
walked with a shuffle.  She and Shatner, the town doc, discovered that they
were told from infancy not to let both feet leave the ground at once.  The
reason is because they'll start flying, since they inherited assorted powers
from the original settlers.  I forget if the original ones had crashed, or
fled to Earth for some reason.
   I think this was an ABC movie-of-the-week, about 1975.
