Neglected Classic

In 1956, some of the great names of Hollywood came together to make a film they all could be proud of, and Good-Bye, My Lady is that film. It is still remarkable today when this kind of project succeeds, but this one really did. Look at the list: Producer, John Wayne; Director, William Wellman; the greatest character actor ever, Walter Brennan; the hottest boy actor of the day, Brandon de Wilde [Shane, Member of the Wedding], a great script from a well reviewed novel, even the rest of the cast like Phil Harris and Sidney Poitier! Others have pointed out the niceties of the script, such as when the boy, Claude, picks up on his uncle's colloquialisms, and quietly shows his respect and love for the old man by adopting these phrases into his own usage. Such a sweet film, with no hackneyed or kitschy layerings, no Disneyisms to spoil the excellence of the acting and storytelling. The only thing missing is a DVD release! Come on Warners, if people are still trading fifteen year old VHS tapes for a film with so many five star reviews, now is the time for DVD! And for you Brandon de Wilde fans, I think this was his best, and that is saying a lot, considering Shane and Member of the Wedding!

A Childhood Memory

As the new kid on the block in Peru, Indiana, the summer between third and fourth grade (c. 1964), I went with some neighbor kids to a special Wednesday morning showing of this film, alternatively titled THE BOY AND THE LAUGHING DOG, at the local movie theater. Ever since, I have longed for a Basenji of my very own, but have instead had housefuls of shelter dogs and cats, all of whom have been very wonderful and unique personalities of their own. Still, I'd like a Basenji, someday...and really, like many of the other reviewers who have them have testified, it's all because of this film. (James Street's original novel is a joy, too.)

heart-warming and decent

Just wanted to add another five-star review for this classic.
I saw the movie many years ago before reading the book, and it did justice to the author's themes -- how a boy can make an honest decision, and thereby become a better person despite loss. I think it may have helped me to become a better person, too.
I'd recommend it highly.

great old film

well done family film made in the old style, with a great cast. Coming of age, kid and animal, great values; it has it all.

Great Experience!

The seller was sooo hopeful, answering any and all questions I had by email, promptly. I even had a problem with the delivery date (bc it was a birthday gift) after I had completed my order and they changed it, no questions asked. The item arrived on time as promised, packaged securely, and the product was in immaculate condition. I would definitely do business with them again.
