![]() ![]() She’s a gorgeous dog and everyone in town thinks she’s lovely. ![]() The only thing of worth the family has is their rough collie, Lassie. Carraclough (Donald Crisp and Elsa Lanchester) and their son, Joe (Roddy McDowell) live out a meager existence out on the moors. The author died in World War II and never got to see this movie come to fruition. Right off the bat, the movie starts off with an opening scroll that hits you right in the heart. ![]() Lassie Come Home is based on the 1940 book of the same name by Eric Knight. My husband eventually found him in the shelter and well, here we are. I was barely holding myself together as it was and there was no way I could write a piece about loving pets with him missing. On a side note, I almost didn’t write this because one of our cats, Dick, had been missing for the past few days. It’s perfect because what’s more pure than an animal’s love for its human? While talking it out with my husband, he suggested Lassie Come Home. It’s not the first movie that comes to mind when thinking about love I’ll grant you, but that’s why I went with it. Last year, I wrote about They Shoot Horses Don’t They?. When trying to think of a movie to write about for Valentine’s Day, I was looking for something a little different. ![]()
