Top review. Of all the movies I saw as a young in the theaters in the s, the only one that haunted me or brought tears to my eyes was this one. It made a lasting impression on everyone in our family. Not long afterward, we bought a Golden Retriever puppy and it was a fabulous dog.
After a long, long absence, I saw it for the third time in the lates on VHS. Since I never forgot the sad ending, I was prepared for that. I think I expected too much since the film had such strong nostalgia value. Yes, it was still a nice old-fashioned story but the impact was so-so and McGuire looked like she had aged 20 years since "Brooklyn. Tommy Kirk went on to be a star on television and in the movies for Walt Disney while I don't believe Kevin Corcoran, who was just as good as Kirk, did a whole lot after this Good 'ole "Davy Crockett," Fess Parker, also is in this movie but has a minor role, being seen only in the beginning and at the end.
It is about a boy and a stray dog in post-Civil War Texas. It is based upon the Newbery Honor-winning book of the same name by Fred Gipson, who also cowrote the screenplay with William Tunberg. Its success led to a sequel, Savage Sam , adapted from another Gipson book. After Katie bids him a tearful goodbye, he tells Travis that he must now assume responsibility as man of the house, promising to reward him with a horse upon his return.
The next day, Travis is working the cornfield with the family mule, Jumper , when a stray dog chases a jackrabbit into the field. Jumper, spooked, rears, throws Travis off, and runs, ruining the crops and felling the fence.
Travis is furious with the dog, and grows even more angry that night when he eats some of their meat. Despite Travis' attempt to beat him, which he dubs " Old Yeller " Spike , Arliss falls in love with him and Katie, who hopes he will protect him, welcomes him into the family.
The next afternoon, returning home with a deer for dinner, Travis spots him splashing in the drinking water pond and throws stones at him, prompting Arliss to attack Travis and the latter to dislike him even more. That night, he hangs the venison low in an attempt to entice him into stealing it, so he can banish him the next day. He is shocked when he spends the night guarding it without touching it. Later, Arliss traps a black bear cub, and when its mother charges him, Travis and Katie witness Old Yeller leap to his protection, fighting off the mother bear.
That night, Travis, finally impressed with him, allows him into their bed. Katie tolerates him despite his extreme laziness and tendency to brag, offering him dinner when he refuses to leave. While helping Travis pick corn, Lisbeth reveals that she saw Old Yeller stealing food from neighboring farms, but will never report him because he has impregnated her dog, Miss Prissy.
Pleased, Travis gives her an arrowhead, which she treasures, and determines to keep Old Yeller with him at all times, to prevent him from stealing. That night, he sleeps out in the field with him, hoping to catch the raccoons that have been eating the corn. He falls asleep while thinking of Jim, but wakes to see Old Yeller faithfully chasing off a raccoon family. In the morning, Katie informs him that their cow, Rose, is missing and has probably given birth in the hills.
He and Old Yeller set off to find her but when he discovers her newborn calf and tries to carry it, she charges him, prompting Old Yeller to knock her over until she calms down. At home, he attempts to break her, but can't until she spots Old Yeller and becomes docile.
