The Girl, the Gold Watch, and Everything (1980 Jun 13)

Thought I saw something on Yahoo! about someone here having a copy of this funny movie. I would love to see it again! Can anybody help?

-Leelan

The Girl, the Gold Watch, and Everything (1980 Jun 13) Kirby inherits a watch that can stop time, and bad guys want to seize it from him. One of many possible inspirations for Clockstoppers. Stars Pam Dawber, Jill Ireland and Robert Hays.

PLOT DESCRIPTION
John D. MacDonald's offbeat semifantasy novel The Girl, the Gold Watch and Everything was enjoyably hoked up for television in this "Operation Prime Time" presentation. Robert Hays stars as Kirby Winter, an unprepossessing chap who inherits a gold watch from his late uncle. Kirby soon discovers that the watch has the power to stop time. It also provides a clue to a hidden fortune, meaning that there's trouble aplenty in store for Kirby and his air-headed girlfriend Bonnie Lee Beaumont (Pam Dawber). First syndicated to local stations on October 13, 1980, The Girl, the Gold Watch and Everything was offered in two versions: as a standard 2-hour movie, and as cliff-hanging series of five half-hour programs. So successful was this non-network effort that it spawned a 1981 sequel, The Girl, the Gold Watch and Dynamite. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

I saw Clockstoppers (good movie), but I didn't know it was inspired by something! That's neat! [Big Grin]

If you check out ebay, there are some occasional bootlegs that turn up.
The first one was definitely better than the second. But the second had Mrs. Valley girl herself - Lee Purcell. Always a bonus in my book!
