Everyone knows Lassie, the loyal collie dog, and this film returns the story to it's roots. Set in pre WWII England, Lassie is a poor boy's pet. The family sells Lassie to a local Duke (Peter O'Toole) to raise money to survive. Of course, Lassie keeps wandering back to the boy, and is returned to the Duke. When the Duke moves 500 miles away to Scotland, Lassie gets to make the long walk back. The critics and the public love this film, and it should do well on DVD during the holiday season.
