Child actor Claude Jarman Jr. won a Special Oscar for his lead performance as the boy hero ofMarjorie 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

- The Yearling
A beautiful, heartwarming movie.However, there are a couple of scenes that are grossly insinuative. Like what happened to the mother deer - something had to be cut out, though they didn't show the process.
Rating: - Florida classic
This movie is priceless, and should be required viewing for all Florida school children. This is a classic and is a MUST SEE. Dont pass this one up, no matter your age.
Rating: - A tender growing of age story

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 ... Read More
Rating: - A Gentle Classic
I remember watching this in the 1950's as a child and barely able to understand the movie's themes. The ending is what I kept in my mind for many, many years.

This is a gentle movie with each actor playing their part to reflect accurately the characters in the book. The young actor who was chosen for Jody does not play Jody, he is Jody. One ... Read More
Rating: - Wonderful old-fashioned deeply human film
I've heard about this film all my life but somehow never saw it.When I found it on the library shelf recently I took it, but then decided to return it unseen.I thought it would be a silly, overly sentimental kids' movie.I'm certainly glad that I gave it a chance.
At first I watched because the scenery was pretty but it didn't take long for me to get completely involved in the story.Gregory Peck plays the nicest man in the world (!) and he sure looks good, too.Over and over we are ... Read More
