Review of Lassie Come Home (1943) by Adam R — 10 Mar 2016

Lassie come home 1943.

Starts off in Edenbourow England.

They sold Lassie for money and could not afford money to pay for food for Lassie.

Lassie dug herself out first time and second time jumped over the fens.

Lassie to go to Scotland for a dog show.

Heinz the dog handler does not like Lassie.

They go to Northern Scotland very mountainous landscape.

At 4:00 P.M. Lassie would always want out for meeting for school.

Lassie encounters small traveling wagon trick show where small dog named Tuts does tricks like pick up different color rings or jumping through rings.

Two burglars have a fight and knock out and kill Tuts in the fight with clubs.

I think this film is better because it deals with loss and there is an evident risk where we see the consequences.

Lassie jumps out of a two story building and gets a limped foot when trying to escape the dog catcher.

Lassie is starving refuses to eat soup.

I feel like the story and characters I am invested in and people die that you care about so story is stronger.

The ending links and sets up to the next film Son of Lassie.
