A Time to Live is a 1985 American made-for-television drama film directed by Rick Wallace and starring Liza Minnelli (in her television film debut), Jeffrey DeMunn, Swoosie Kurtz, Scott Schwartz and Corey Haim.

Mary-Lou and Larry Weisman first learned that their younger son, Peter, had muscular dystrophy when he was two-and-a-half years old.

The doctor told them that the child's muscles would slowly atrophy, and he would eventually die of pneumonia.

Mary-Lou and Larry fought to make the next thirteen years that Peter lived intensely loving and fulfilling.

A Time to Live was filmed from August 12 to September 1985 on location in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
