Back in the day my 1st grade teacher played this on a 16mm projector and while we watched the film I could hear the rippling sound of her pulling kleenex after kleenex to ball her eyes out. It seemed peculiar to me at the time but 25 years later when I found this online and see how they put in that famous song “He Aint Heavy“ - it tugs at my heart strings. What a bittersweet and tragic story.
