This is definitely a long shot, but I figured I’d start somewhere…
I saw today that Look Homeward, Angel entered the public domain. I remembered my dad really liking the book (and I remember bouncing off it myself years ago). In reading the Wikipedia article, I noticed there was a TV Movie made of the play adaptation in 1972. I thought, “Sure would be cool if I could find that movie somewhere. My dad might enjoy seeing it!”
What I’m stuck on: All searching I’ve done so far has just lead me to streaming services/etc. that have a page for the show (with the exact copy as the IMDb page…) but don’t have the actual show to watch.
Does anyone know how to search further? I thought about reaching out to my local library (which I couldn’t do today), but beyond that, I’m a bit stumped. Too trained on more recent/less obscure stuff, I guess.
Edit: The Paley Center maybe has something? (Although they said it was aired on CBS) https://www.paleycenter.org/collection/item/?q=cbs&p=31&item=T79%3A0070

Maybe someone at NBC could help?

An IMDB comment suggests that it hasn’t been converted to DVD, so it might not be commercially available in digital format.
These look like high school performances:

If you have a local film archive society, perhaps through a university or library, they might be able to help.
I wonder if someone in these subreddits would have a good lead:
You found a lot of the same stuff as me! I appreciate the reddit links!
