just saw this on hbo . good enough for an afternoon enjoyment . this movie be very and very and very similar to lose horizon star ronald coleman set in america . that film and the book be from the 1930 . wasn not there a remake of lose horizon a few year ago . the star have good chemistry . the dog be real star and probably smarter than the two lead and a they admit in the dialog . the saving of the sheriff be a little faked . it do not appear he be in real danger . it would appear the film maker cut a few corner . i would have like the character develop to a great extent . couldn not gate have go to a local vet or animal supply store and purchase penicillin off the shelf or with a vet ok .
