Title: Obscure old movie with '69 Charger
Post by: 71_Charger_R/T on December 24, 2008, 12:52:55 AM
Here's an oldie from 1969 with Wayne Newton (looks like a kid) Nice new '69 Charger turns into a 1st Gen. when it gets rolled. The movie was called "80 steps to Jonah". Does anybody remember this one?

Wayne Newton is the hero of the warm-hearted family feature 80 Steps to Jonah. The piping-voiced Newton is accused of car thievery, but who could doubt the sincerity of that angelic face? On the lam from the cops, he takes a job at a summer camp for blind children. Passing himself off as the new handyman the camp is expecting, the fugitive quickly ingratiates himself with the kids. Soon the cops come calling, but the falsely accused man is rescued by a last-minute confession. Veteran producer/director Gerd Oswald, previously a specialist in taut crime mellers, unexpectedly goes "cute" on 80 Steps to Jonah, though the end result is better than it deserves to be.

Never heard of it myself either.

Looks like they missed it on the database as well.  Good one. :2thumbs:
