Help me find this holiday movie

[Corixidae]

I've been looking for a copy of this movie on VHS for years for my mom, who loves it. It's never been available commercially, so far as I can tell, so if anyone has a copy I could duplicate, I'd be ever so grateful.

Flick is a made-for-TV holiday story: The Gathering, starring Ed Asner as a dying man trying to reunite his family for one final holiday. It was made in 1977 (see listing at IMDb (http://us.imdb.com/Details?0076067)). I've searched the various TV listings services (clickTV, Gist, Zap2it) hoping it would be aired again so I could record it, but no luck so far.

And a search of SDMB yielded no previous discussions of this.

Anyone have a lead for me?

Thanks a bunch in advance... :D

As a holiday movie 'collector' over twenty makes me close to...... um, a nut, probably, but anyway, I have the movie, if you can't find it, e mail me, and I'll copy mine and send it to you, okay???

Good luck, it's a great movie, though I didn't like it's sequel very much.

Sorry for the off-topic post - but your name grabbed my attention. So I looked up your profile.

If I remember my entomology correctly, your handle refers to the water boatman family of aquatic insects. (But as a fish guy, I might be a little off - I always got the water striders, boatmen and backswimmers mixed up)

What gives- are you trained in aquatic entomology or just like boating and/or obscure monikers? Seems like an odd handle for someone working at an insurance company. I appologize for being nosey, that's just my nature, I guess.
