Summary: 5 Stars
GREYFRIARS BOBBY: THE TRUE STORY OF A DOG (1961) Directed by Don Chaffey, Based on the book by Eleanor Atkinson. Cinematography by Paul Beeson. Produced by Walt Disney.
Starring Laurence Naismith, Freda Jackson and Donald Crisp.
The true story, set in 1865 Edinborough, of a cute terrier named Bobby who, when his master dies, sleeps every night at the grave. In the daytime, he spreads happiness and joy among lonely bachelors, a childless couple and the neighborhood's poor children. However when the bad people want to take Bobby away because he does not have a license, a trial ensues that will prove to be one of the greatest in the history of Western jurisprudence. Will the dirty [...]. kill Bobby or will justice triumph??
A lowkey, somewhat sad but charming Disney film with gorgeous cinematography, solid direction, a good script and a solid cast of welcome faces. It occurs that there is a scene in the Karlolf/lugosi film THE BODY SNATCHER that is a nasty bad joke based on the story of Bobby. Naismith was also in the excellent JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS(which Chaffey also directed) and SCROOGE. Jackson in BRIDES OF DRACULA and Crisp...nearly the end of a long career appeared in everything from Griffith silent classics such as BROKEN BLOSSOMS to myriad highly regarded John Ford pictures and the horror classic THE UNINVITED. So this is not some kiddie film with a cast of unknowns going nowhere.
An unheralded effort by Disney that sadly was not a box office success. However well worth seeing in any case. A likable film on every level.
