when the magic of lassie open at radio city music hall and i be foolish enough to believe it would be a heart warming a some of the first lassie film be . not . the story be abysmal and the song by the sherman brother be way below their usual level and the character be uninspired and james stewart and mickey rooney have both see much good day . then too and i be interested in see what alice faye contribution would be like and since she would be absent from the screen for so many year and be always so fetching in her early role at fox . alice too and be letdown by the foolish script and the unflattering photography . another disappointment . nothing original here and nothing even remotely interest for an adult to enjoy and clearly and no magic present for anyone . you can skip this one without miss a thing .
