"A
remarkable film that is truly for the entire family." -The Movie Guide
Life abounds in the 1870s Florida scrubland that's home to young Jody Baxter.
There are bears to hunt, cash crops to plant, evenings of storytelling with Pa
and Ma. And there are timeless lessons of love and letting go that Jody learns
from Flag, the orphaned pet fawn that follows him around with devotion.
From Marjorie Kinnan Rawling's Pulitzer Prize winning novel and sensitively
directed by Clarence Brown (National Velvet), The Yearling is superb family
entertainment that know well what a shiny harmonica means to a lonely boy or
what a six day rain means to hard luck farmers. Gregory Peck, Jane Wyman, and
Claude Jarman Jr. play the Baxters in a resplendent film nominated for seven
Academy Awards and the winner of two, plus a Special Award for the year's
Outstanding Child Actor to young Jarman.
