Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen not filming with the thirteen-year-old Brandon De Wilde, My Lady (full registered name: My Lady of the Congo) spent all her time with him. My Lady was six months old when she was brought over from England, along with other Basenjis to act as stand-ins. In the agreement to supply the dog, it was written into the contract that My Lady would belong to De Wilde after filming was completed.
- GoofsA shot of Uncle Jesse and Skeeter's kitchen shows a bag of C&H (California and Hawaiian) sugar on the shelf. C&H sugar distribution has been almost exclusively west of the Mississippi River. Domino is the longtime sugar of choice in Mississippi, where the story takes place.
- Quotes
Uncle Jesse Jackson: That dog's a foreign dog.
Skeeter Jackson: Maybe it's a Yankee dog. You know how Yankees are.
Uncle Jesse Jackson: I don't know much about Yankees, thank the good Lord, but that dog's been around folks. Don't belong around here.

Featured review
I didn't want it to end
I loved this movie and didn't want it to end. It is a growing-of-age story about a lonely young boy who finds a strange breed of dog in the Mississippi swamps and makes her his own. Starring Brandon De Wilde and Walter Brennan, it has able supporting performances by Sidney Poitier, Phil Harris, Louise Beavers, and William Hopper, all of whom are directed by the wonderful William Wellman. Of special note is the simple and haunting musical score, composed and played by Laurindo Almeida, guitar, and George Fields, harmonica. The opening and closing song is sung by Howard Keel.
