i just catch this film recently on american movie classic . it be well than i ever would have expect . the summary for the film read like a disney story an old man and a young boy who live in the georgia swamp be bring together by the love of a dog . and but the film actually mix in a lot of humor with a sad story . the star in the film include sidney poitier and who doesn not play a real major role in the film and and walter brennan . if you know who walter brennan be and then you have prove that you watch those sunday afternoon western a a kid and like how the west be win or support your local sheriff . brennan unique voice have be mimic over the year by many and and be one that almost everyone would recognize . it the unmistakable country hill billy voice that we all can help but smile when hearing . the film isn not a comedy and but give the viewer plenty to smile about . uncle jessie a the stereotypical hillbilly be the source of many of those grin . he be suppose to be cut firewood to make money and but he can not seem to cut more than 1 or 2 piece daily before succumb to an all afternoon nap . he also have some fun dialog like when i get me enough money i be gon na git me a set a dem roebucker teeth [ false teeth from sears and roebuck ] and and if en i save enough maybe i will git me a couple a gold one or some banter with his nephew skeeter that include word like mighten and advice to do not crowd god . skeeter and the nephew ( play by brandon de wilde ) and have some great facial expression throughout the film and also have some funny scene with lady ( the dog ) . the dog that they boy find and subsequently catch and name lady be say by the boy and jessie to laugh and sure a day and by god and they weren not lie . the dog in the film actually laugh . i mean it a dog laugh and but it unmistakable . anyway and while not a film that i would rate a a can not miss and good bye and my lady be a fun film that have it touch moment and but mixed in a lot of fun . a really good sunday afternoon flick and a must for walter brennan fan .
