In 1973, Jim Croce was just hitting his stride as a rising singer/songwriter, enjoying hits with the songs "Time in a Bottle," "You Don't Mess Around With Jim," and "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown," when he died in the crash of a light plane en route to his next concert. Jim Croce: Have You Heard - Jim Croce Live is a documentary assembled by Ingrid Croce and A.J. Croce, respectively the late singer's wife and son. The material is centered around live footage of Croce taped for several television shows before his death. Also included are interviews with friends and fellow musicians (including Randy Newman and Kenny Loggins), a rare duet performance from Jim and Ingrid Croce, an animated cartoon interpretation of " "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" created for The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour, and home movies of Jim at his farm. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
License to Kill is a serious TV movie dealing with the subject of drunken driving. The film begins when a popular high school girl is killed in a head-on collision by inebriated-businessman Don Murray. Though he's had a drinking problem for some time, Murray has dismissed it as a byproduct of the tensions of his job. Facing a manslaughter charge, the well-heeled Murray hires an expensive defense team....while the father of the dead girl (James Farentino), with hardly a penny to his name, is doggedly determined to see that Murray pays for his misdeed to the fullest extent of the law. The conflicting personalities of the two men are counterpointed by the anguish experienced by their wives (Millie Perkins and Penny Fuller). Written by William A. Schwartz, License to Kill debuted on January 10, 1984. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Not to be confused with the made-for-TV horror film She Waits, the equally TV-bound She Lives is (to some) a horror of a different sort. Desi Arnaz Jr. is Andy Reed, a college student who falls in love with coed Pam Rainey (Season Hubley). She learns that she has a fatal illness. They stay together in spite of the doom clouds hanging overhead. The one saving grace: Season Hubley's character fights tooth and nail against dying a quiet death, as opposed to Ali MacGraw's graceful succumbing to the inevitable. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
