MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
ybmagpye In my early NCY kiddy-hood, I recall when Timmy buried Lassie's toys, assuming as she was lost, he would never see her. again. Then there was a bark, and Lassie was HOME! I remember the scene well because my quite grumpy maternal Grandfather watched the episode with tears streaming down his face. When I saw that I was one stunned kid I can tell you! No one has mentioned the very last season of Lassie which was like Lassie on LSD. She was lost and lived on her own in the wild (though magically she didn't kill and eat prey, but somehow stayed healthy). She met and fell in love with a male farm collie. Then, Lassie gave birth to her love-puppies in a cave. Then, because that wasn't far fetched enough, she proceeded to travel the country side, finding unhappy people and gifting them with one of her puppies. She 'gave away' her own litter of babies. I think the show's writers were on some kind of drug. You think I made that all up? I did not!
jeffhill1 I grew up with the Tommy Rettig "Lassie" series. Looking back onit, I would say that I was addicted to that show and that I fantasizedthat I was the Jeff who lived with Lassie on the Miller farm, not theJeff who lived in New Jersey suburbia with a teddy bear. When GeorgeCleveland died, the show decided that Tommy Rettig was too old to beLassie's boy and the scenario was that since Gramps was dead, they hadto sell the farm and go live in a crummy apartment in Capital Citywhere Mom would get some miserable job and Jeff would simply go toschool. Mom explained all this to Jeff at the kitchen table, addingthat they couldn't take Lassie to live in some crummy Capital Cityapartment, so...... I was ten years old when seeing this unfortunate transition. Iremember it felt like it was my life that was being eviscerated. Inever enjoyed the "Lassie" show much after that.
lrldoit Lassie first aired in 1954. It was created by Robert W. Maxwell. He created the perfect vehicle for teaching children (and adults) values and moulding young minds. Lassie brought in the viewers. The children learned as Jeff did. The episode, "The Leash" was especially notable as Jeff learned how to deal with the aftermath of a friend's tragedy and its implications.Jan Clayton is outstanding as Jeff's mother, Ellen. Ellen Miller is in my opinion, the most well developed and realistic mother in the history of television. She is a real mother, period. Her advice to Jeff as well as so many touching scenes is simply something that has to be seen to be believed. Bravo to the most talented woman in America, Jan Clayton.
crazy-12 I watched that great series without fail. I always thought how great it would be to be a friend of "Jeff Miller". Of course, knowing he was really Tommy Rettig the boy actor gave me a strong desire to somehow be like him. I even dreamed of getting a part on the show. This was, of course, pure fantasy and yet I remember the intense dedication I had as a boy toward that show. I was not aware, until now, that Tommy had passed away. It saddens me to learn this. I am about the same age as he was.
