    • Trivia
      This is one of a handful of MGM productions of the 1950-51 period whose original copyrights were never renewed and are now apparently in public domain; for this reason this title is now offered, often in very inferior copies, at bargain prices by numerous VHS and DVD distributors that do not normally handle copyrighted or MGM material.

    Lassie gets put down would be better.

    Bad acting makes this drivel even worse. Poor script and dialog. Bland story.
