Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaPeter Dinklage (Rowlie) says the line "Winter is coming" twice, six years before it became the theme of Game of Thrones (2011) in which he appeared.
- GoofsThe steam train has a British Railways logo on the tender, but British Railways didn't come into existence until after the war, certainly not before or during the war, the period in which the film is set.
- Crazy creditsThere are no credits at the beginning of the film, not even the film's title. All that is seen is the logo of the production company.
- ConnectionsFeatured in Troldspejlet: Episode #34.13 (2006)
Featured review
Lassie is just a wonderful movie. It has a sweet, engaging story, and everything works so well that you completely forget any areas that fall on the predictable side. Lassie's greatest strength is that it is never afraid to explore deeper and present some mature themes.
The film also looks beautiful. The photography is just marvellous and wonderfully evergreen, while I loved the scenery just as much as it was stunning and quite picturesque. The script is also a strength; it is a very poignant one that cleverly avoids falling into mawkish sentimentality and also balances subtle humour social tension adeptly.
The cast are just excellent. It also helps that the characters are well fleshed out and easy to relate to. Jonathan Mason brings the right amount of pathos to his character, while Peter O'Toole is a warm and charismatic presence and John Lynch, Peter Dinklage and Samantha Morton are also impressive. Lassie though makes the picture endearing, what a cute and talented dog and it makes it easier for the audience to sympathise with Lassie's predicament too.
All in all, a very beautiful and moving film. 9/10 Bethany Cox
