O Clarim da Floresta

I loved this movie . It is so good, reminds me of where the red fern grows ,sorta. I have wanted to see it again for 13 yrs ,my mom and I watched it yrs ago. This movie will stir the soul , at least it did mine . My mother and I watched it and knew our husbands would love it but have never seen it again or heard of it ,even asked local movie stores with no luck.Glad to have found it on this site . Hope to be able to buy it . If you love older movies and one that has animals , then this one you will love .

I am really ready to see again . I think it should be re-made ,and put on the big screen. I believe all kids would enjoy this clean movie . it has a sad part but not nothing like todays shows .

This movie will stay with you for the rest of your life. I did not see the movie until 2002 on TCM, but the senate speech about the love of a dog quoted in the movie was excerpted in a comic book I read as a boy in the late 50s. I would love to see the movie again. Of course, like many people, I believe that every movie with Lionel Barrymore is a classic on some level. The movie is otherwise pretty much standard fare for the 30s: a low budget film made with contract players. But if you are a lover of animals, this movie is a classic that ranks right up there with Old Yeller, The Biscuiteater (original version), or even the Lassie series. You get a little flavor for what life was like in a pre-WWII America.

This movie was filmed around my home town of Mendon Missouri. Mostly on the farm of Tom Bash. I believe he financed part of the filming of this picture. He was judge of the eastern district in Missouri in the 20's and Sheriff of Jackson County Mo. in the 30's. He offered to adopt my father Calvin Collins but my father refused because he was told he would have to wear shoes and have to finish his homework before he went fishing. Bash hosted many large hunts on his vast farm and they were attended by many dignitaries including Harry Truman. Lionel Barrymore attended parties at the Bash Ranch aside from being there to make this film.

I cannot begin to tell the readers how Voice of Bugle Ann affected me!

As a little girl I knew that I loved all animals, big and small. Saturdays were my day to take my 15 cent allowance and walk to downtown Binghamton (NY) to see a movie at the Strand theater. This was my every Saturday routine.

5 cents would buy my way in to see the movie and I always headed for the front four rows of seats. I spent the remaining 10 cents on as much candy as it would buy.

I guess Lionel Barrymore was like a movie "father" to me and I adored him! And when I watched Bugle Ann and saw how loving he was with his companion and how hurt he was when Bugle Ann was lost to him, I couldn't stop crying.

This movie made a lifetime impression on me of how you should love and cherish any animal that God has put in your care. You should consider them a part of your family. You should express your affection for them whenever you're together. And, it's a good thing to sit down and talk to them about the things you have on mind, even your worries. Treat them as if they were another human.

I have a Yorkie mix and we are at one another's side 24-hrs. a day.

And something that has stayed with me from the age of 8 to my current age of 75...I have NEVER forgotten the beautiful bugle of Bugle Ann. I have heard it at times when we have driven through the Everglades. But, strangest of all, I will hear it at night time. I always tell myself "that's Bugle Ann and she's telling us she's OK by bugling..."

When, of course, I know that it's really a neighbor's dog.

This was the first movie my grandparents saw together...and they're still reminiscing about it. I want to get them a copy and watch it with them. I can't seem to find it online in VHS (video tape) anywhere...only the book at Borders. The TCM channel played it in July 2002, so I wonder if anyone taped it then? I would pay $$ for a copy!
