Who would have view that a collie could inspire such loyalty and devotion from movie goers? When Loewes Inc. President Nicholas Schenk first screened “Lassie Approach Home” he reportedly told director, Fred Wilcox that it was so awful he was going to recommend to MGM’s mogul, L.B. Mayer, that the film not be released. Thankfully, Mayer conception otherwise and the film, with all its maudlin charm and abundantly potent sentimentality, became one of the biggest grossing films of 1943. What makes “Lassie Advance Home” such an keen and enduring cinematic experience is the tender and wistful relationship between Joe Carraclough (Roddy McDowell) and his trusty four-legged companion. When Joe’s father, Sam (Donald Crisp) is forced to sell Lassie to the wealthy, Duke of Rudling (Nigel Bruce), Joe’s heart is shattered. But the collie refuses to cease with his modern master, crossing hill and dale, stream and mountain in a picturesque rush that is in the best tradition of travelogue meets melodrama. At the age of ten, Elizabeth Taylor completely captivates as Pricilla, the Duke’s granddaughter who eventually realizes that the bond between Joe and Lassie can never and should never be broken. Truthfully, I found myself getting a lump in the throat when at last Joe - who can’t acquire his eyes when, after some time Lassie suddenly appears patiently waiting for him outside in the school yard - utters the now grand clichéd and overplayed “Oh, there’s my Lassie, approach home!” This film is the sort of MGM glamorous treatment that all of the studio’s best movies had in spades. It’s lushly photographed and vibrantly told with poignant performances that have long withstood the test of time.

Warner’s DVD is somewhat of a disappointment. Not having considered the overall magnitude and enduring impact of the film on audiences Warner has not done a thing to restore “Lassie Advance Home” to its unusual brilliance. The outmoded film negative exhibits a very dated portray with inconsistently rendered colors that, at times, are vibrant - if garish - and other times, quite pale and uninspiring. Age related artifacts abound throughout and there is a much amount of edge enhancement and pixelization. Overall, glorious details are very nicely realized. However, inequity and unlit levels are not very solid. The audio is mono but respectably cleaned up and presented with a fidelity that outweighs the visual characteristics. There are NO extras.
This is a marvelous film, taken nearly word-for-word from Eric Knight’s fresh about the faithful collie who travels a thousand miles from northern Scotland to England to return to the boy she loves. Lassie is neither Superdog or magically endowed, unprejudiced following archaic instincts and the like in her heart. The entire cast is suited, the color brings the countryside to life, and diminutive scenes will swagger your heart out, including Dame May Whitty as a lonely broken-down lady willing to let Lassie go rather than have her fret.
