The ultimate kids' tearjerker.

The comment from the person who saw this as an 8 year old certainly brought back memories for me.

I must have seen this film at least three times during the pre-TV days of Saturday morning special programs for children.

If you've ever sat in a theater packed with eight to twelve year olds all bawling their eyes out together, you know it is something you'll never forget.

I was able to find a VHS of the movie in later years and was astonished to find how charming the picture is on the adult level as well.

Kudos, hugs, and kisses to anyone still alive who helped put it together.

A historic film that should be seen by any family with a dog.

This film is the first sound picture filmed entirely on location, with good plot, and great action by the dogs that actually DO their stuff the way they were bred to do. I saw this film over five years ago, and can't seem to find it anywhere, either playing or on tape. I Highly recommend it to all families with any breed of dog in their homes. It's "breed specific" but that is just what it's about. Hope you can find a copy and enjoy it as much as I did.

Best Movie From The 40's

I liked this movie I sat down and watched it with my Dad and I thought it was good! To sit down and watch a movie like this is al ot for me so do yourself a favor and watch it on T.V. or rent it.

Looking forward to a DVD

I saw this excellent film on AMC many years ago. It was well-made and moving. I especially liked the natural friendship between the black and white boys. AMC played the movie quite a few times that month, and it was well worth rewatching.

Anecdotes
One of the first examples of a sleeper--a film shot inexpensively, with no name stars and with no great expectations for it, which turns out to be a huge critical and commercial hit.
