The Osmonds - Side by Side 

This is by far one of the best TV movies about the Osmonds I have ever seen! And Marie portrayal of her mother was absolutely amazing and gorgeous!

I was a huge Osmond fan back in my early teens. Donny was my favorite. Had all their albums and went to their concerts. I am now 65. This movie was so wonderful!

Good for George and Olive for refusing to put their sons in an institution just for being deaf! Those two sure went above and beyond anyone's expectations for deaf children at the time.

Nothing like the good old days where family was family, husband was husband, wife was wife, kids were kids and everybody connected to each other with a lots of love!.The most amazing talent ever!.

Where are the parents like this today? Good Lord do we need an Olive & George Osmond today! 🙏

Aww I cried! What a family and legacy...and how sweet that Marie got to play the part of her mother. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I met and had a great night with the Osmonds when they were at the Hotel Diplomat in Hollywood , Fla. Marie and Mr & Mrs Osmond by the front desk in the Cafe where the guys sang. Got a picture signed for my cousin. Mrs Osmond was kind enough to talk with me all evening . She took my address and phone number. Some weeks later she called...I was not home. BUT...Grandma said they had a wonderful long conversation. Said they traded a few good recipes. Said it was nice to talk to someone from the 'Old School' . That was one of two times I met the Osmonds. The Miami concert I met Mrs Osmond . I was pushed into the metal gate and got a bruise on my temple. Mrs O came right over and had to make sure I was ok. Grandma was there and said simply, "Once a Mom...always a Mom. Does not matter who's child it is."

My sister Mary had the “One Bad Apple” album when she was about 13 or 14. Around that time her best friend was moving to a different state and since they both loved Donny so much, my sister gave her friend the album as a keepsake to remember her by. Mary passed away last January with dementia at age 57. Up until the end she still loved Donny, and still remembered giving her album away. Rest In Peace my sweet sister. I miss you sooo much! ❤️🙏

Our parents are still “Side by Side” in Paradise awaiting us to join them. Our Spirit bodies never die but are pre-mortal children of God. Because my parents had their temple marriage ‘sealed in heaven as well as on earth, for time and for all eternity’, not ‘till death do you part’, they and we their children will be together forever! With God’s ‘Plan of life’ we can all return to our Heavenly Father and Mother again and live ‘Side by Side with them, too!

What a beautiful movie. I grew up watching the Osmonds and loved them on The Andy Williams show. I'm between Donny & Jay in age and have always loved the whole family performing. God bless them all. I grew up in a family of only 2 children but had wonderful, loving parents and the way love is shared in a family is what is missing in today's world.. The Osmonds are a prime example of Love and caring for the most important thing in life,, FAMILY.

I'm 63 and have all the Osmond albums. I play them when I'm feeling nostalgic. I loved all of their music. My favorite album is "The Plan". Favorite song "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother".

My compliments to the late George and Olive Osmond on the raising of the most talented group of children.

Feb 7, 2020: Thanks for sharing this movie! I've watched it several times; a sweet story! My first boyfriend and the true love of my life, Sgt Manuel R. Martinez, 23, was killed in an auto accident on Aug 22, 1975 south of Santa Fe. Returning to Albuquerque from a long work week at the Farmington mines, he tragically rolled his 240Z Datsun. Manuel trained as a Marine at Camp Pendleton (radio operator), served a year in Okinawa and was a member of the VFW, Catholic Church & Carpenters Union. Still in high school, we exchanged letters often. By the time I graduated, I knew I had fallen in love with him. My mother never approved. Then....he was gone. Manuel graduated from West Mesa High School in 1970 and participated in track & field. Manuel's shy grin, warm heart, gentle spirit and strong work ethic were endearing traits to those of us who loved him. KATRINA

This movie is great and I especially love it because Marie plays her mother and she's a wonderful actress

Love this movie Marie did a great job playing her mother

I grew up with the Osmond's. Great movie

Marie did a great job portraying her mom. I enjoyed this movie very much. I am currently reading a book about Olive Osmond written by Virl and am finding she was quite a remarkable lady!

This brought tears to my eyes at the end when mom and dad were expressing their love for one another. The 70s were a family decade. Family was still the main priority. I wish I could go back in time to the 70s.

Marie was so good playing her mother i just love this woman

Haha. I was in this movie when I was in college. I was a ballroom dancer in the Apollo Dance Hall scene, first date. I feel famous.

I am very happy to see the movie was mostly about Mom and Dad Osmond with out them their will no Osmonds to go crazy for!

Wow, that was a really nice and wholesome story. I didn't want it to end.

I was born in 1961 so your know I know all about the osmond by the 70s I was about 13yrs old. Now I'm 62..anyway all I know I was so in love with wayne..I love his eyes so chinese..lol . they all had their mom hair too...God Bless you all and your Beautiful Families

❤wow first time seeing this, awesome l loved Donny Osmond growing up, picture of him all over my wall I'm 66 now😊

Best tv movie i've ever seen about the osmonds and Marie playing her mother is excellent

The best musical family of all time

This is the most best beautiful story I’ve ever seeing this movie is a good example how loving family’s should be, olive and gorge Osmond set good examples for there children 😊👍

I don't know how many times I have seen this, I love it each time I watch it.

The Osmonds Side by Side great story ,great to see the real Osmonds at the end

I had the greatest thrill last Sunday to see Donny & Marie perform live at Ceasars in Atlantic City and they are absolutely FANTASTIC AND HARD WORKING performers. If you are reading my comment and have the opportunity to see D&M, do not pass up the chance, it is truly an AMAZING show!!! I have always admired the Osmond family. Not only are they role models, they are proof that when you hold tight to your beliefs/morals, you can succeed in show business! I applaud Mr. & Mrs. George Osmond, may they rest in peace! Lastly, thank you so much for uploading this wonderful film about a wonderful family!!!

Aww when George and olive both spoke as themselves i felt a little tear

Thank you for putting the movie on youtube :)

I must admit, watching this, really brought back some good memories.

Marie looks so beautiful in this film as always and her acting is impeccable.

Beautiful movie, amazing children.

Loved it !! What a beautiful movie . I'm 60 now but in my teen years I remember hearing, and falling in love with Donny Osmond and his music. It's really nice to watch this movie about how it all came about. Thanks so much for taking the time to share this with others , so like myself they to can enjoy and learn from it ! :):):):):)

As much as I loved the osmonds grow up I never saw this. Love it ! Never heard of the name Olive until my granddaughter. ❤️

The world is a better place with the Osmonds.

This is a rare gem! I love all of the family and I applaud Mother and Father Osmond for standing up to a system that wanted to destroy the family. That scene made me cry.

I an very familiar with the Osmonds. Loved their music growing up. Never seen or heard of this movie. Absolutely wonderful!!!! I'm 54 years old and I do not watch any of the garbage out there now. Nice to watch an old fashioned love story without profanity and all the rest.

Have loved the Osmonds since I was 10. their parents gave them an amazing foundation by which to live their lives and raise their own families. they had a big impact on me growing up in helping me shape my beliefs and how i wanted to live my life. love seeing them when i can on tv. had the privledge of seeing them a few times in concert growing up as well.thanks for the memories ,what wonderful ones I have.

No family is this perfect, were it only so!!!!!! A very good movie!!!!

God Bless Olive. She made sure that although they couldn't Sing or be part of the Act, she made sure that they were just as important. In future years, Tom & Virl admitted that although it was hard sometimes to see their Brothers be one of the Biggest Boy Bands at one time in the World, they were happy that they could be "regular people". They also worked behind the scenes in future years.

Oh wow I loved the osmonds. I got to see Donny and Marie live in Hamilton New Zealand many years ago ❤

I grew up listening to their music and the Donnie and Marie variety show. Thanks for sharing movie.

They raised a beautiful & talented family. I had the pleasure of hearing them sing A cappella in 1974 in our church. I invited some of my friends from school. They were amazed that they could be that close to the Osmond’s.

Since watching this movie, I've been watching videos of the Osmonds music and I've enjoyed every minute of it!

George Osmond was like that James Brown Song "Papa Don't Take No Mess". George & Olive were amazing Parents. The Values he taught them still apply today.

I love this movie. I used to watch it all the time as a kid. I had it recorded from television and my copy said every time it went to commercial, "Side by Side: The Osmond Family Story starring Marie Osmond and Timothy Bottoms. Now that I'm older I see it is his brother Joseph Bottoms that plays the part.

"I'm alittle bit country" and definitely a fan of this charming and fun recounting of how our talented performing family came to be. Stay safe everyone!

I'm so honored to watch this movie thank you for making it. T. G. B. T. G.

Meeting the Osmonds family would be a miracle ! Love them!

I don't know how i missed this when it first aired. It is pure goodness and testimony to God, faith and family !!!! Love all the Osmonds since I was old enough to know who they were, although like most preteen girls, Donny was, and still is, my favorite !!! Amazing movie of family's beginnings !!! I know that Mrs. Osmond loved all her children equally, but I have to imagine her thrill to finally get one little girl out of all the boys ! And did not know there were so many grandchildren and great-grandchildren ! Has it ever been documented online the ratio of girls to boys in the grands and great-grands ?? I believe boys tend to run a bit ahead in the numbers !!

Olive always reminded me of my grandmother and I always thought of her that way.

im only 29 years old but i love the osmonds you are great

I loved this! I grew up listening to these guys on their records, and later, watching Donny and Marie. She did a wonderful job on this! It was a beautiful movie!

Tremondous! So refreshingly clean! Marie did an outstanding job! What an honor to play her mother! Don't miss this one!

What a beautiful movie. Most people know the story of the boys, it was great to learn the story of how it all began.

I wish The Osmonds had made more movies about their walk with God. They were an inspiration to millions all over the world and still are. I'm grateful to them for sharing their Family & Faith with us all. God Bless

I love how at about a hour in people at the picnic aren't mostly looking at their cell phones (lol no such things existed)

I just had to write with a "Big Thanks" for posted this video. I have been looking for years for two movies, this one and Inside the Osmonds and both have now been posted on youtube. Love love love the osmonds!!!

Can’t enjoy movie without closed captioning. I’m deaf. Osmond’s parents raised their children well. All turned out wonderful.

Beautiful love story wonderful family great movie, no matter how many times I have watched it

This movie was very good thank u

I've also met all of the performing Osmonds and was even in a Donny Osmond video for "Soldier Of Love" that he filmed at Disney MGM studios. They're all very lovely people.

Very fitting the real George and Olive appeared at the end.

Such a beautiful loving family.

Such a beautiful family. Perfect touch at the end.

A wonderfull movie about a wonderfull family. I grew up in the 70s w the osmonds.

Its been over 30 years since I saw this movie. I forgot that Mr. Osmond had the boys to sing to get himself out of a ticket! Thanks for posting!!

What a wholesome video in times of uncertainty like this. It's like a big warm blanket and cup of Coco

I wonder how many of us are now singing about the old, old can bucket. This was a great movie. Very interesting too.

Love it 🥰 I grew up watching the Osmonds!!!

This was a wonderful movie..and even though I have never met any of the Osmonds in person I got to see two concerts about 30 years ago and it was fantastic. I got to see Father Osmond from afar and got to shake hands with Marie when she can down to sing.

"Why would God have trusted us with these children if He didn't think we had the strength..?" That speaks volumes of George and Olive's faith in God.

Love the Osmond Show, and was Donny ever so dreamy ♥️

I remember seeing this movie many years ago it was even good back then

Oh my gosh!Such a very great movie!I loved how Marie Osmond portrayed her mother in this movie!I'll keep on watching this movie just as long as it's on RU-vid!

You could tell the parents loved each other dearly.They did not compromise their values.They both loved all their children.To have parents like these are a treasure.My mom and dad were liked them in many ways.A Godly household is so important in a marriage.

Yes, I have had the opportunity to meet sevearl members of the Osmond family, I also have the movie that Jimmy produced called "Inside the Osmonds". I also have "Going Coconuts", the movie that Donny and Marie did, many of the original Donny and Marie shows, and many other things Osmond.

Didn’t know there was a movie about the osmonds. I didn’t know Marie osmond played in a movie either. Not only is she an amazing singer but this movie shows her many talents! ❤

What a wonderful beautiful special tribute to George and Olive Osmond ✨💕💕💕 I Love the Osmond family for the beautiful people . They touch my heart 💖 with goodness and heartfelt gratitude of Christ like attributes . This is what connects me to their incredible souls . 💕💕💕 Thank you 💗🙏💗 God Bless ✨

The Osmond still manage to bring a smile to my face during UK 🇬🇧 Pandemic Lockdown 2020 😊

wonderful movie, so refreshing to see a movie with meaning, with a plot, and no profanity or "f" word every other word. Hollywood needs to get a clue, people don't want to hear stuff like that anymore.

I am very pleased i watched this movie. I really enjoyed watching the family grow , prosper and develop into a loving and talented family. Although life must have been hard at times they still loved each other very much.

While it's a stretch to compare George Osmond to Joe Jackson (to the point that Donny was unwilling to do so, mainly out of respect for his own father), there are a fair share of similarities between the two. -Neither had much of a childhood. -Both married a woman who was born on May 4. (Olive Osmond was born on May 4, 1925, and Katherine Jackson was born on May 4, 1930) -Both wanted their children to be more successful then they were, thus pushing them very hard, and being fiercely critical. -Both raised their children and managed their music group with a severe sense of discipline and long hours of rehearsal. (Although one specific difference between the two, was George Osmond's discipline was more of a military type that occasionally became physical, while Joe's discipline was notorious physical/mental abuse). -Both fathers objected to their older sons marrying young, fearing its impact on the group, but were forced to relent. -They both (well Joe mostly) saw the other group as rivals, but they maintained civil terms with each other. -The most famous of the sons, were the 7th son of each (Donny/Michael), who ultimately became buddies with each other, in the 1970's, and when they both became fathers, they both were desperate to let their kids have the childhood they both missed out on. The main difference between the two fathers was George focused on family first, while Joe focused on business first.

Thank you so much for uploading this movie! I am a huge osmond fan since my chilhood in Germany! thanks again.

Beautiful love story as well as how the Osmonds came to be!!!! I can never get tired of this movie. Thank you, Osmonds for a beautiful story.

I didn' t know much about the OSMOND FAMILY when I've heard their story and saw this movie .... I'm amazed of their testimony and endurance after all they've been through .... THANKS A MILLION for your good and inspiring examples ... with LOVE .. FROM SURIGAO CITY , PHILIPPINES

Can one even imagine if George and Olive Osmond never had more children based on their doctor’s recommendation. There would be no entertaining Osmonds as we know and love today. I love this family story.

This movie's a very true story about the Osmond family & how they got started.Now they've been around for more than 25 years in the music & entertainment industry.They still perform & do shows as well.I love this family & this movie as well.

It was.my wife too she loved the osmonds

This is the 1st time that Ive seen it and it had me in tears of love and joy. Well done 4 all the hard times but what love and joy you have 4 eachother. Rebecca

Absolutely love the 40's music fabulous!

Great tribute to 2 wonderful parents! Enjoyed this immensely! And love the Osmonds!!

You made me cry What a beautiful story I remember the first time seeing the Osmonds on tv And the first time seeing them perform in N.O. City Park Stadium and Marie was walking around underneath the cemented bleachers throughout the closure It was a tears of joy for me back in the day and this was a wonderful experience to learn about a very loving family and how much we should be spreading family values today I only wish people to see and absorb most of how our upbringing should be in today's world

Hard, hard work for all of them. Great production that kept to the truth. Loved the movie. I remember all of this 💖!

Mr. Brown, Thank You for loading this on You Tube for all of us to watch. This is a superb movie every time I watch it I Laugh, smile, and cry. It reminds me of the closeness of family and all the past memories of childhood . The joys, the sorrows, the hard times and the good times . That's what life and family is all about sharing it all SIDE BY SIDE. God Bless Mr. and Mrs. Osmond for their steadfast faith and family and raising wonderful, honorable children and sharing them all with us. God Bless You OSMOND FAMILY.

This family is the true meaning of family. Loving parents loving their children. FYI... My parents bought me “Tiger Beat” magazines full of the Osmonds!😀

I love the Osmands. This was a lovely film. Thank you.
