The Yearling

Chill Wills, Claude Jarman Jr., Clem Bevans, Forrest Tucker, Gregory Peck

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
