Courage of Lassie (1946)

Description

Combat Patrol 4 is pinned down, taking heavy fire. The lone hope of getting reinforcement is to send through the lines the patrol's brave collie. "Either he gets through or we don't," one G.I. says. Heroism and heartfelt values arrive on four feet in Courage of Lassie. Elizabeth Taylor (who was in Lassie Come Home three years earlier) stars, radiating the special love of a child for a dog. And everyone's favorite collie plays the beloved canine whose adventures range from his wilderness puppyhood to wartime service to postwar stress to a moving family reunion. The Pacific Northwest locales are eye-filling splendors and the story has stirring family appeal. What a treat to share with favorite two- and four-legged pals!
