Lassie celebrates nothing more profound than the simple and timeworn relationship of a boy and a dog. It dramatizes the uncomplicated goodness of an animal in a complicated human world.
Lassie emerges as nice entertainment enhanced by color photography and good scenic shots.
The classic 1943 canine weepie about a collie who crosses most of Britain to return to the little boy who loves her.
This was understandably inspiring to wartime audiences and actually still holds up as a heartwarming story with a very decent cast.
This film is a fairly well-balanced effort, and if you're in the mood for an evening of obvious sentiment, this boy-and-his-dog film works quite well.
Barkin' good moral-rich classic. But violent, too.
MGM tear jerker supreme for dog and child fans.
Nobody made this heart-warming fluff better than MGM.
It's the classic shaggy dog story that began it all.
As Old Yeller is the classic story of a boy and his dog, Lassie Come Home is the classic story of a dog and her boy.
Lassie Come Home gives the screen's first dog star, Rin-Tin-Tin, a run for his money, mostly thanks to its rich Technicolor cinematography and its top-shelf cast.
One of those rare and precious films that are to be enjoyed by all generations.
Still good family entertainment today.
