During the Civil War, wounded Union soldier John McBurney (Clint Eastwood) recuperates in a Confederate women's finishing school that is run by Martha Farnsworth (Geraldine Page).

She spins Wilber's praises in her web for all to see and gives Wilbur the support he needs so that he will not be sent to the slaughterhouse. Lots of other little animals fill the screen in this delightful animated film adaptation of the popular children's book by E.B. White.

Cast: Diane Baker, Pamelyn Ferdin, Michael-James Wixted, Cliff Robertson, James Olson, Nancy Malone, Allyn Ann McLerie, Liam Dunn, Anne Seymour, Booth Colman, Shirley Slater, Johnny Lee
This TV remake of the 1945 Oscar-winning classic does an adequate job of telling Betty Smith's story of a widow raising her children in Brooklyn in the early 1900s. After her husband (Cliff Robertson) dies, Francie (Diane Baker) must make it on her own until she meets and marries a policeman (James Olson). Originally intended as the pilot for a TV series, the series did not come to be.
