Movie Reviews of The Yearling
Movie Review: A tender growing of age story
Summary: 5 Stars
The YEARLING, is a wonderful story of a family living in the post Civil War era of Florida.(1870's) Gregory Peck is the "Pa" to Jody (Claude Jarman, Jr) who shows him how to hunt bears, plant crops, & wonderful storytelling at nite."Ma" is Jane Wyman who holds the whole family together, whose greatest wish is to have a well nearer the house. Jody grows to love a fawn whose mother was sacrificed to save Pa after he was bitten by a rattle snake, while hunting. Jody eventually names the fawn Flag, after his special friend dies who loves animals himself. But with growth comes anguish, Flag eats the crops. Jody builds a fence that Flag sails over to eat the second planting. Ma & Pa insist that Flag go. Well, I wont tell the whole story. This is DEFINITELY a family movie,showing the trials & tribulations of love & letting go.
Summary of The Yearling
Life abounds in the 1870s Florida scrubland that's home to young Jody Baxter. There are bears to hunt, cash crops to plant, evenings of storytelling with Pa and Ma... and there are timeless lessons of love and letting go that Jody learns from Flag, the orphaned pet fawn that follows him around with devotion.Child actor Claude Jarman Jr. won a Special Oscar for his lead performance as the boy hero of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings' novel, which concerns a lad's love of a fawn in the post-Civil War era. Gregory Peck and Jane Wyman are memorable as his parents, their emotions divided in the aftermath of so much tragedy and their lives affected by the boy's passion for his yearling. Clarence Brown (National Velvet) directed this 1946 heartbreaker, which will not leave a dry eye in the room. A handsome, leisurely drama at more than two hours, shorter versions simply don't cut it. --Tom Keogh
