Wiki.
Side by Side: The True Story of the Osmond Family is a 1982 American made-for-television biographical film about the earlier years of the famed entertainment family, starring Marie Osmond as matriarch Olive Osmond, and Joseph Bottoms as patriarch George Osmond. This film was released on VHS tape in 1998 but has never had an official DVD issue.
Side by Side would be followed 19 years later by Inside the Osmonds, which focuses on the family's breakthrough years as pop stars with an entirely new cast.
