Wilson Rawls's novel about an Oklahoma boy's devotion to two hunting dogs during the Great Depression was the basis for this appealing 1974 film made by a former Disney director, Norman Tokar. Stewart Peterson is very effective as a 12-year-old, hurtling down the path toward manhood with hounds at his side. (Though how he raised $50 to get the pooches in that economic climate is still a mystery....) --Tom Keogh

 great movie December 8, 2008
I really wish everyone giving it 1 or 2 stars on here would stop comparing this movie to the book. Since when has ANY movie been as good as the book? This movie should be rated for the MOVIE ONLY, not how well it holds up against the book (which is another medium completely!). That being said, I never read the book so I can honestly say that I'm judging the movie completely on its own merits and I thought it was GREAT. So what if they changed the names of the dogs or left out a scene or two (as another 1 star reviewer complained), this is still a movie that is worthwhile viewing. If you're a child of the new millenium and you have trouble relating to the time of the Great Depression, that's your loss.
This Movie Made Me Bawl My Eyes Out - While My Dogs Watched! April 6, 2008
I couldn't help myself. This is a touching movie with all the flavor of a time gone by. Very intimate to detail of life in early America. I won't reveal too much but It is so good it is one of my favorites of all time now.
On my first viewing, my two Springer Spaniels were watching it with me, one on each side of me on the sofa, and I couldn't help myself but cry unashamed at a few points. I'm just soft for caring for dogs and the reality of how beautiful they really are in their pure care for their place as man's best friend. This is a unique and one-of-a-kind story that I recommend to anyone who loves dogs and kids and family.
If you like Little House on the Prairie or Old Yeller, you'll like this March 23, 2008

The production is very distinctly dated, and not quite top notch, but the sentiment is so unfailingly earnest and mild, the story so appealing, that those inclined to this kind of film will love it. Maybe a touch less saccharine than Little House on the Prairie, rather like The Waltons, with love between boy and dogs in a country setting. A paradigm of "family film."
Includes portrayals of the deaths of a boy and animals, should be fine for most children, especially if they follow the plot to the end. God gets prominent mention, and credit, but belief isn't really required, only room for an optimistic view of the meaning of life and death.
great movie September 16, 2007
this is a great older movie to introduce your child to. it's so heartfelt.
Love This Movie! September 16, 2007
I bought this for my nephews who were reading the book in class. I remember watching this exact movie after I read the book in school, so I wanted to share it with them. It was great to be able to find the exact rendition!
