The Yearling (1946)
7/10
A Family Classic?
24 May 2002
Warning: Spoilers
***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** I wonder why this film is so widely praised? It seems that the script doesn't make much sense: A lad's beloved deer keeps eating his family's crops at night, so he is forced to shoot it painfully by his parents. It's obvious that the problem can be solved by simply putting his deer in their barn at night, and everybody would be in peace with one another.

After running away from home for 3 days, the lad finally comes home, has a nice talk with his father, then goes straightly to bed without changing his clothes. Doesn't he need a bath or something to eat first?
