Movie Reviews of To Dance With the White Dog
Movie Review: A Superb Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
To Dance With The White Dog is one of my favorite movies ever. It is the story of Sam and Cora Peeke who have been married for 57 years. When Cora dies Sam is befriended by a white dog who stays with him through his last days. What makes this movie so poignant is that Jessica Tandy and Humn Cronyn were married for fifty plus years like the characters and the year this was released Jessica Tandy died of cancer. THis movie really celebrates a special love these two characters had and at the same time shows the relationships with their children and the issues faced by a lot of older people- losing a spouse, health declining, and maintaining independence. To me the movie was about how love can live forever and that the magic between two people will live on. Jessica Tandy was luminious in this movie- she just glowed and was so amazing and elegant- what a class act- both of them are. Humn Cronyn was very good as well as Sam Peek. It was so bittersweet watching Jessica Tandy in the DVD extras talking about life and how it should be enjoyed such a short time before her death. God bless both of them and I am sure they are together right now. Have some tissues nearby when you watch this movie!
Summary of To Dance With the White Dog
Terry Kay's original book is treated with a subtle touch to realize a magic feeling in an ordinary life, and the relations between his worried family members and confident Sam himself are marvelously drawn with a snappy dialogues. Naturally, the acting from the two veterans is always first-rate, with Hume Cronyn as Sam (who got Emmy Award), and Jessica Tandy as Cora (nominated for Emmy but with a little more screen time, she could have won). And the fact that these actors were really married for a long time, and by the time of shooting this film Jessica tandy got a diagnosis as having cancer makes the whole picture more precious and gives a bitter-sweet taste to it.Similar DVD Movies
