Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Allen Eyles

Alan Ladd's finest achievement from the years following Shane carries echoes of that film, particularly in the prominence of a small boy. Ladd plays father to his own son, David, who's mute since witnessing his mother's death in the Civil War. It's about the search for a cure, the boy's beloved dog, Olivia de Havilland's kindly spinster farmer, and an evil brood of sheepherders that includes a young Harry Dean Stanton. Exquisitely photographed in burnished Technicolor, beautifully acted (with no-nonsense performances by Cecil Kellaway and Henry Hull) and directed with quiet mastery by Michael Curtiz, it's that rare breed of family film which should entrance kids and adults alike.
