Clarence Brown (National Velvet) directed this 1946 heartbreaker, which will not leave a dry eye in the room. A handsome, leisurely drama at more than two hours, shorter versions simply don't cut it. --Tom Keogh

    Nice family film about a boy and his bond with a deer. The relationship cultivates after his Father's life is saved at the expense of the fawn's mother. The boy feels obligated to care for the baby Fawn and learns many important and difficult life lessons in the meantime. Claude Jarman Jr. shines as the child actor and Gregory Peck gives one of his finest performances. A good, wholesome film for anyone to see!
