there be no word fulsome enough to describe jt . i remember see it many year ago and the first time it be show . seldom have i be move so much by anything . apparently score of other viewer felt the same way and because it be run again a week later . i remember that doris day ( a great animal lover ) introduce this second showing and say that the first have be a happening . and so it be . jt and a little black boy be raise by his mother and grandmother and try to bring him up right despite all the odds against him and find a purpose in his life when he find and adopts and and care for a scroungy black and white alley cat . jt have a kind of double end and the first so tragic and so sad and and the other hopeful . one get the impression that jt will finally grow up and because of the responsibility he take for the cat and that the cruelty of his life and the fate of the cat and will make him a man that his mother and grandmother can be proud of . i always associate jt with christmas and and thankfully and i tap it . watch jt if you ever get the chance . trust me you will cry .
