A surprise hit upon its 1943 release, Lassie Come Home made stars of Roddy McDowall and Elizabeth Taylor, not to mention Lassie (played by Pal), who later earned her star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. Critics praised the film for its simple and uncomplicated portrayal of love, as Lassie embarks on a heartfelt journey home to Yorkshire, after being sold to a Scottish duke.

‘One of the most appealing, beautifully made and well-loved of all the classic children’s animal movies.’ – Chicago Tribune.
