      Isabel Quigly The Spectator A film of remarkable charm, made up of small, intimate touches, sure and exactly suit- able performances, a perfect command of sound --in the Mississippi swamplands -- as well as vision, and a delicacy of taste, humour and suggestion.

      Steve D Low rent Yearling with good cast. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/06/23 Full Review ashley h Goodbye, My Lady is an okay film. It is about an old man and a young boy who live in the southeastern Mississippi swamps are brought together by the love of a dog. Walter Brennan and Phil Harris give decent performances. The screenplay is a little slow. William A. Wellman did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the drama. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is a wonderful surprise. It is one of the best - if not the very best Hollywood dog movies. Fleishman's writing is real south - not phony . The actors are superb. It's a perfect confluence of writing and acting. The story is touching but not overly tragic or melodramatic.The film was obviously shot on location somewhere in the southern swamps. This flick is an unknown jewel. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member An excellent movie and an excellent story. Just bring your Kleenex, because It will tug at your heartstrings. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review s r Melancholy and simple, but touching and memorable. Felt like it was made for TV, but it was good enough for the big screen. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member If you are a fan of the basenji breed, this is a must see! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
