	DVD Verdict Review - Lassie Come Home / Son Of Lassie / Courage Of Lassie
		Lassie longs to return to his young master, however, and after several attempts, he manages to escape from the Duke's kennels and sets out alone on what will be a long and hazardous journey back to Yorkshire.
		Lassie finds herself in action against the Japanese in the Aleutians along with her trainer, but she eventually becomes affected by the sound of gunfire and is shipped home by train.
		The dog Lassie (reportedly a one-year old collie without pedigree papers named Pal who was auditioned for the role by noted animal trainer Rudd Weatherwax) is of course amazing, but she is surrounded by a first-rate human cast that catches the flavour of the novel.

		A young pup is found on the side of the road by young John, who passes by her by chance twice in a hurry before noticing the miniscule ball of fur gazing at him unassumingly as he comes and goes.
		Finding no collar and seeing that the pup is in a sickly condition, he takes her home and nurses her so that he can search for her master when he has a chance.
		Progressing slowly from this discovery, the episodes find Lassie growing gradually bigger, and everyday life goes on around her as she absorbs all the wonders it has to offer, almost like a toddler.

		When Loewes Inc. President Nicholas Schenk first screened "Lassie Come Home" he reportedly told director Fred Wilcox that it was so bad he was going to recommend to MGM's mogul L.B. Mayer that the film not be released.
		Thankfully, Mayer thought otherwise and the film, with all its maudlin charm and abundant sentimentality, it became one of the biggest grossing films of 1943.
		The worn film negative exhibits a very dated picture with inconsistently rendered colors that at times are vibrant -- if garish -- and other times, quite pale and uninspiring.
