The original title was 'He Ain't Heavy, He's Just Big-Boned and Maybe has a Glandular Condition'.

Donny Osmond told me that.

Or maybe it was Marie. Whatever. It was a long time ago.

True story

Another fun fact.

Robert Deniro was the first choice to portray Father Flanagan in the movie Boys Town.

I always preferred the Neil Diamond version. His baritone voice served that song very well.

Is there another Boys Town movie other than the 1938 version with Spencer Tracy and Mickey Rooney?

It's presently in the final stages of production.

Starring Rosie O'Donnell as Father Flanagan and Dwayne Johnson as the rogue youngster Whitey Marsh...

They/them are still figuring out how to splice all that together.
