THERE is real DRAMA in this story of a BOY...and his DOG!
Two little boys have faith in a dog they name Promise, so much faith that they enter him in the championship trials for bird dogs. The favorite is Georgia Boy bred and trained by the boys' fathers. And if Georgia Boy doesn't win, the fathers may both lose their jobs.
Been a while but I noticed less than 60 members have logged this. My grandpa grew up share cropping in the south and Quail hunting was the central focus of the early part of his life. This movie meant a lot to him when he was a kid and he showed it to me several times. It’s a sweet, but sad movie sort of in the vein of “Old Yeller.”
P.S. I recommend it with one caveat. It’s a film that was made in 1940 and takes place in the south. There are black characters but they are definitely stereotypical and offensive.
The Biscuit Eater (1940) is forerunner to those sweet toned down family movies involving kids and animals. Using mainly no-names and all the sentimental tricks they knew, it works rather well in it's early 1940s atmosphere. Surprisingly well.... and real.
