I saw this in a movie theatre in Jerusalem back in 1972 when it came out as a first run flick.
I was 11 years old. It was the coolest movie I'd ever seen. Azit puts Lassie to shame! I mean really now...did Lassie ever jump out of a plane and rescue Israeli soldiers caught behind enemy lines??? Well of course not, and Lassie doesn't even bark in Hebrew.
How was the acting? Well it seems like Azit was well trained. She was a German Shepard as I recall, but I couldn't place a face onto any of the actors.
The question is, was this really a good movie? I mean hey, what does an 11 year old know? I'd love to see this as an adult just to see how much I have grown up... But somehow I bet it would be hard to find in the USA and I've forgotten all my Hebrew so I'd have to hire an interpreter..
