Lassie Come Home

This was understandably inspiring to wartime audiences and actually still holds up as a heartwarming story with a very decent cast.

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.

Nobody made this heart-warming fluff better than MGM.

A thorough delight.

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.

An enjoyable, good-natured ride, avoiding significant conflict for the sake of relating a pleasant parable – and boasting a stunningly heartfelt finale.

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.
