Based on the novel Come to Mother by David Sale, the ABC Movie of the Week for February 16, 1974 tells the story of Caroline Carmichael (Donna Mills), who is frozen when her heart condition can’t be cured. She wakes up a few decades later only to learn that her husband Thomas (Walter Pidgeon) is now an elder gentleman. Even worse, her kids are now Vera Miles from Psycho and Mike Farrell, who are much older than her.
This is kind of a reunion for Miles, as screenwriter Joseph Stefano wrote the aforementioned Psycho, as well as The Naked Edge, Eye of the Cat and The Kindred. Director Richard A. Colla made The Questor Tapes, The UFO Incident, Battlestar Galactica and Something Is Out There.
Back in 1974, everyone was getting frozen. Remember when Walt Disney was supposedly lying all frosty in Cinderella’s castle?
