Review of White Dog (1982) by John A — 03 Apr 2014
A Powerful Film About Racism, Director Samuel Fuller's White Dog Is A Tale About Trying To Overcome A Dog's Racist Views.
Lucy (Kirsty McNichol),.
Accidentally Hits A German Shepherd With Her Car, & Nurses It Back To Health. Later Events Occur And Lucy Discovers The Shocking Truth That Her New Best Friend, Is A White Dog, Trained By A Racist To Attack Black Skinned People On Sight. Lucy Finds An Animal Trainer, Carruthers (Burl Ives), Who Strongly Suggests That This Dog Should Be Put Down & Quick, Before Anyone Else Gets Hurt. But His Partner, Keys (Paul Winfield), A Maverick Black Animal Trainer, Steps In To Attempt To Recondition The Dog, But Sadly His Attempts Before With A White Dog Have Never Succeeded, Can This Be His Breakthrough?
Director Samuel Fuller, Gives Great Direction To A Great Story, & With It's Excellent Script And Cast Performances It's Not A Film You Can Find Flaws In Easily. The Score Is Excellent As Always From Italian Film Composer Ennio Morricone. A Great Script Also Comes Into Play, And The Excellent Basic Plot Makes The Film Entertaining As It's Easy To Understand And Strives To It's Full Potential.
