Movie Reviews of Old Yeller 2-Movie Collection (Old Yeller/Savage Sam)
Movie Review: "Savage Sam" is unbelievable, forced, missing actors.
Summary: 2 Stars
Review of "Savage Sam".
If you have never seen "Old Yeller", you will not be so disappointed by "Savage Sam", and may enjoy it.
Dorothy McGuire and Fess Parker are noticeably absent. Beverly Washburn, the girl who played Elizabeth Searcy the daughter of the lazy neighbor is replaced by another actress breaking believability. Elizabeth's part was small but memorable, and she could not be replaced without notice, or even left out without notice. The dog is not the yellow dog pup we saw at the end of "Old Yeller". The film begins repeating things done in "Old Yeller" in an attempt to connect us to "Old Yeller", is really lazy trading on "Old Yeller" instead of coming up with something new. Disney had several of the original actors under contract, still had the cabin set, and decided to make some easy money without putting any effort into the script. Disney got away with shooting Texas in California in "Old Yeller", but could not get away with trying to tell us the Indians in this film are Apache and Comanche amidst California Oak trees when such Indians inhabited the red rocks of Arizona.
Kevin Corcoran was charming in earlier films "Old Yeller", "Swiss Family Robinson", "Pollyanna", and "Toby Tyler" just playing himself, and reacting as a kid his age would, but here he has grown much bigger, 6-years after the first film, and outgrown those roles. A kid his age and size in this film would respond differently. The writers here force cuteness that looks out of place. Brian Keith should have used his normal voice instead of using an odd accent for no purpose.
The writers could not successfully continue the story without Beverly Washburn who played Elizabeth, because her continuing romance with Tommy Kirk is the next logical step. Disney should have wined and dined her to get her to appear. Even a 30-second appearance by Fess Parker and Dorothy McGuire at the beginning would have helped immensely. Otherwise, Disney would have been better off putting Tommy and Kevin in an entirely different film. It is a lazy script. I heard Mr. Searcy wrote the script.
"Old Yeller" is a great film.
Summary of Old Yeller 2-Movie Collection (Old Yeller/Savage Sam)
OLD YELLER: Walt Disney's first and quintessential film about a boy's love for his dog is now an American original as much as it is a Disney classic. No film better portrays the powerful emotions of hope, courage, and friendship. When his younger brother adopts a frisky lop-eared stray, 15-year-old Travis (Tommy Kirk), acting "man-of-the-house," tries to shoo him away. But Old Yeller soon proves he is anything but "yellow" when he protects the family farm and saves Travis' life. From its charming simplicity to its gripping conclusion, the drama, humor and heart of OLD YELLER belong in everyone's collection. SAVAGE SAM: Now discover what happens next in SAVAGE SAM, the sequel to Walt Disney's classic adventure OLD YELLER, where adopting a new pup sets the stage for more thrills in the untamed West. With his two young masters Travis and Arliss Coates (Tommy Kirk, Kevin Corcoran), gentle and true-blue Sam faces even greater dangers than Yeller. From the ferocious attacks of wolves and wildcats to tracking renegade wrongdoers, our four-legged hero proves his pedigree. SAVAGE SAM is a compelling story of love, devotion, and trust that is sure to win your heart.Classics DVD Video
