As a result Bill W. and his loving wife Lois (Jo Beth Williams) must come to grips with his depression and downward spiraling alcoholism.

Promise (1986)
James Garner executive produced and stars in this classic Hallmark Hall of Fame movie, one of the most honored television movies ever made. Considered a breakthrough in how we view the mentally ill, Promise is a poignant look at a brother’s (Garner) struggle to fulfill a promise to take care of his schizophrenic younger sibling (James Woods). Garner is superb, moving in understated lock-step with Woods’ explosive, breakout performance, and thoroughly grounding the drama. Piper Laurie co-stars.

And after Quincy intones and Jason moans, Jason is sold to the highest bidder. Quincy later springs him loose and they split town, split the cash and head down the road to the next sucker. It’s an effective scam for these smart and nimble schemers – until they cross paths with an equally clever con woman (Susan Clark) and an irate former customer (Edward Asner).

But things are not always what they seem and this hospital might not be a hospital, Anna may not be his wife and it might not be 1950. In just 36 hours Jefferson Pike may betray his country...or save the world. Based on Roald Dahl's "Beware of the Dog." Directed by George Seaton ("Miracle on 34th Street," "Airport").

Toward The Unknown (1956)

The first and only film made by Holden’s own company, Toward the Unknown features an X-2 mockup especially built for the production by Bell Aircraft and marks the screen debut of James Garner, whose TV series Maverick would make him a household name just a year later.
