Harper Valley P.T.A.

Love this movie

I loved the movie. I like all the older ones without all the cuss words/sex scenes.

nice thank you

Like the movie, been awhile since I've seen it.

This picture hit the theaters in 1978 starring Barbara Eden as Stella Johnson, Ronny Cox as Willis Newton and Nanette Fabray as Alice Finely. The pictured opens with the song that we come to know and hear along with a view of the school district where the whole thing gets started. As the song continues to play, they keep showing views of the school and the town. After the song is over Stella Johnson is in her house singing and dancing when her daughter Dee, comes home from school and can't even get in the front door. Therefore, Stella opens the door and Dee goes straight to her room without even speaking to her mom. Stella goes and checks on Dee and is given a letter that is address to her from the Harper Valley PTA. The letter states that if Stella doesn't change her ways they will take the proper measures to have her daughter expelled from school. Therefore, Stella and Alice sit down and have a nice long talk with Alice telling Stella every dirty secret that she has on every member of the Harper Valley PTA board. It just so happen that very afternoon the PTA was holding its annual meeting. Therefore, Stella and her daughter go to that PTA meeting and Stella was loaded with dirty secrets that were just waiting to come out. The next day when Dee comes home from school her entire front yard is covered with toilet paper. That's when Will Newton enters! Will is a construction worker who's building the schools new gym. Will helps Stella clean up her front yard and then later that night while Stella and Dee were eating someone throws a rock through the dining room window. Therefore, Stella goes to see Alice and now it's time for war with every member of the PTA. I like this movie because of the comedy and the acting of Barbara Eden. It was nice to see her in another role other then Jeanine. I give this movie 5 weasel stars.

A classic movie very good

I vaguely remembered hearing the title song in the 70's as a small child infrequently, as it was a hit in 1968, even before I was born. I can watch this movie over and over and just remember why the 70's were so GREAT! Barbara Eden, timeless beauty of " I Dream Of Jeannie" fame, Nanette Fabray, excellent character actress back in the day, as Alice, Stella's best friend (Eden) "AKA" partner in crime. After Dee(Susan Swift)!comes home with a letter directly from the secretary of " The Harper Valley PTA" threatening expulsion of Dee, (Swift), Eden's daughter, if Eden doesn't tone done her risqué mini skirts & revealing outfits. She learns that the entire bunch of the PTA are a bunch of phony hypocrites, after Alice spills the beans to her on each of their indiscretions, as she the owner of the main salon in town, Lamoderne. Methodically Stella sets out to get even with each & every member & to expose them for what they really are. It is original and it is definitely cheesy a throwback to typical 70's movies. It also is so worth the price & will provide a lot of laughs as she gets back with more vengeance & originality as she goes down her list of "get-backs". The only decent PTA member is a younger " Ronny Cox" of Beverly Hills Cop fame. He is very engaging and endearing & is in Stella's corner as he knows the group are all hypocrites. It is a great, wholesome movie, family friendly, with a great love story & a happy ending! A walk down memory lane....

FUN.

Great classic..good music

Basée sur une chanson à succès de la Country Music (écrite par Tom T; Hall et chantée par Jeanie C. Riley), cette petite comédie porte bien son époque (les années 1970) autant dans les personnages, les situations (le port d'une mini jupe n'écffroucherait plus personne aujourd'hui) que les vêtements portés par les acteurs! Cela étant dit, le film est enlevé avec des gags souvent amusants et le charme de Barbara Eden dans le rôle principal ajoute un vrai bonus! Avec ce film, il y a aussi eu une série TV de 30 épisodes.

Loved it laughed brought back memories

a good and agreable time passing

I can't think of anything that I didnt like about this movie, it was refreshing, down to earth TRUTH.
