5.0 out of 5 stars Masterpiece, 22 Aug 2009
By A. CHERIN (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a classic beauty of a film. A little tearful for those who are sensitive about animal films. I first saw this as a child and being a very sensitive child regarding animal films and documentary, was very moved by it. I have since watched it twice on DVD and it still remains a moving and wonderful adventure. It is such a nostalgic trip back to a London of the the 70's - a time when I grew up. The film stars the fantastic John Hurt who shines as ever. A lovely film which should be better known - it is up there with The Railway Children, The Amazing Mr Blunden, Swallows and Amazons, Black Beauty etc - Classics of the 70's, when films were quality with great actors and great music scores. Unfortunately they do not make films much like these anymore - it seems that gentleness and sentimentality are not cool these days! A great film with a great message. Enjoy!
