"In the Morning of My Life" sung by Andy Williams
"...restores faith in the word heartwarming..." -McCall Magazine
"What a pleasure to go with my 13-year-old son to a fine children's movie that we both could enjoy..." -Lynn Minton, movie critic
"Where the Red Fern Grows" is, quite simply, a wonderful story for all ages and for all time. A boy's yearning for two red-bone coon hounds, which his parents couldn't afford during the desolate times of the Depression in the Ozarks, is the setting for this truly triumphant film. Billy's grandfather (James Whitmore, in a splendid performance) promises the lad that God will meet him halfway if he believes in himself and his beloved dogs. Billy faces adventure, suspense, and tragedy - and, ultimately, a love and loyalty of family and friendship - to realize his dream. The outcome makes for the kind of heart-warming story that great family films are all about.
Filmed in beautiful settings that feature the splendor of Oklahoma, and punctuated by unusually fine performances, this classic film is one which your family is sure to enjoy for years to come.
Directed by Norman Toker
Based on the book by Wilson Rawls
Running time: 108 min. Color
