Responded to the emotionality and suspense despite the old-fashioned feel. They cheered when Lassie escaped, cried when she was hurt and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. This belongs in every library of children's classic films.
Warm, touching story of human-animal devotion, the rewards of perseverance and loyalty, human kindness. Enormous evergreen appeal as a family film.
Roddy McDowell stars as Joe, the young boy to whom Lassie is forever loyal. After Joe's father sells Lassie to a wealthy duke, she escapes and travels 100 miles to return to the boy she loves. This was Elizabeth Taylor's magnificent screen debut.
