Times Story About a Boy and His Dog
8 April 2023
I first saw this film at age 13 in a theater. As a kid, naturally I loved it. As an adult, I still love it. The cast is incredibly good. Brandon deWilde stars in it age 13. It is, I tink, an early role for sidney Poitier. Others are veterans Walter Brennan and Phil Harris. Laurindo Almeida wrote and plays music for the soundtrack. The film was beautifullly directed by William Wellman. Location filming looks great. Where was the swamp? Was it filmed entirely thre? None of it looks soundstagey to me. I recall that when I saw this film at a matinee in a downtown movie palace it was the second feature in a double bill. It should have been the feature!
