This TV movie is supposedly a flashback for champion runner John Curtis (adult: Michael Landon, 13 years: Lance Kerwin) back to the mid 1950's when 13 year old John has a chronic bed wetting problem. Unfortunately he has a rigidly controlling mother with a nasty cruel streak who choses to try and effect change by humiliating her son by hanging his soiled sheets out his window for all to see.
When I saw this film I was both horrified and encouraged. I was horrified because, at the time, I was a teen bed wetter myself and sitting with the family watching this made me feel very embarrassed.
Interesting. Unique.
