I remembered watching a movie with Desi Jr. and I thought it was Mike Evans (Lionel from All in the family & the Jefferson's) wasn't sure about that , Desi and a cute black guy on a boat trip.

Anyway I researched it and indeed it was Mike Evans . And I even found a pic. I watched this when I was 10, and even at my young age thought they were both so hot!

OMG Desi with longer hair !! SIGH!!!

OMG I envy Liza!!! (LOL, even though this was like 40 years ago) !!!

I never heard of that movie! I loved Mike Evans on AITF. He died way too soon.

Yeah , like I said I saw it when I was about 10, a made for TV movie. So long ago. I wish somewhere, some channel would show it again!

Another movie I remember from back than with Desi was Mr. and Mrs. BoJo Jones. Also starring Christopher Norris. ( I always wondered why a lady was named Christopher)

They were teenagers in the 50's , and she got pregnant and they had to get married. Desi's name was BoJo ! LOL!

I found a picture of this, but it won't post!

And yes, very sad when Mike Evans passed.

I never saw this movie, but do recognize the title. It's rather odd, but several times throughout the 70s, Desi Jr. was cast as an expectant father, usually in an out-of-wedlock pregnancy: Bojo Jones; Having Babies; Black Market Baby.

I did not know about the movie with Desi Arnez, Jr. and Michael Evans. But I saw it about two years ago on a low-budget station. I had to look it up because I had never known about it.

It was very good.

There was a folk song that was used in the film. It was also recorded by Simon and Garfunkle.

That's right. The song is El Condor Pasa. It has a distinctly Andean sound. Here's the Simon and Garfunkle version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pey29CLID3I

And the entire movie it turns out is on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jzqhB0IZY0

By the way, his name is Arnaz, not Arnez.

I've never seen that movie with Desi Jr. and Mike Evans, but I would love too! Desi Jr. did a great movie with Richard Thomas that I love called Red Sky at Morning. Richard Thomas is the lead, but Desi Jr. plays his best friend and looks super cute. About 8 or so years ago, I begged one of my internet friends who lives in another state to record it for me when it came on cable and he did. Anyone else ever see it?

Okay, I will give you Erik Estrada and Desi Jr., but John Boy Walton is mine!

I added some screenshots (currently the first 3 rows) from Red Sky at Morning to the gallery awhile back:

I remember Mr and Mrs Bo Jo Jones. I wish they would bring back so 90 minutes movies they did in the early 70's. Being a teen then, I love those movies.

JamesG · 10-12-2014, 10:15 PM

I picked up this one on DVD a few years ago at some random flea market I came across.

It's a double-feature w/ A Real American Hero (1978).

I miss high quality movies of the week so much! I have very fond memories of watching them with my parents.
