GREYFRIARS BOBBY (1961)
RATING: Not Rated but VERY FAMILY FRIENDLY
STARRING: One very cute dog and a host of excellent actors.
STORY: Based on a true story, the film begins with the owner of a farm in rural Scotland giving the 'pink slip' to a long time employee, a lovable old shepherd who had really become a part of the family, but there just wasn't any money to keep him on any longer. The master took 'Old Jock' into Edinburgh where he hoped he could find some work. BOBBY, the family terrier had become very attached to 'Old Jock' but he was now put in the care of the youngest daughter. BOBBY, however, wasn't going to let his old friend Jock go that easily. He managed to escape from the farm and find his way over the 20 miles to Edinburgh. He showed up at the cafe where the Master and Old Jock had eaten lunch Tuesdays on their weekly trip to town. The rest of the film is about the undying loyalty of a dog for his master and some wonderful lessons in love and caring on the part of people in the community in the face of a very stubborn caretaker at Greyfriars and a new law intended to eliminate the average person from being able to keep his best friend. This is a WALT DISNEY classic. The whole family will enjoy this one, including your dog. Lu G. for Lu's Reviews. 9/4/2007.
