Member Movie Reviews Sandi B. from MALABAR, FL Reviewed on 6/13/2019... A beautiful story. I loved it!!! 2 of 2 member(s) found this review helpful.  Jody O. (jojogal) from ALTAMONTE SPG, FL Reviewed on 3/31/2010... I had never heard of this, but picked it up anyways. It really was a delightful surprise and a great story. Very enjoyable Donna E. from RADFORD, VA Reviewed on 7/29/2008... A classic film - enjoyable. For the rise of protection for animals and children in the late 1800s - this is an interesting film. It ends happily, unlike the story which was written to let people know how bad things got.
Movie ReviewsA little tearjerker pyle | Birmingham, England | 02/02/2000 (5 out of 5 stars) "I first saw this wonderful film in the 1970's and cried all the way through it. A young boy named Nello and his grandfather live a very poor life, and when they find a wounded dog take him in and keep him. When the grandfather dies (more tears! ) Nello and dog have to learn "how to live". Nello's idol is the painter Reubens, but he does not have any money to study so he is befriended by an artist, who helps to realise his dream.This is the most heartwarming film which will make you feel very humble." A Good Film for Families with Mature Children Lonnie E. Holder | Columbus, Indiana, United States | 10/22/2004 (3 out of 5 stars) "This movie would be just another run-of-the-mill movie about an orphan boy and a dog with some serious overacting on the part of Theodore Bikel, among others, but there are parts of this movie that make it worth watching. Nello, played by David Ladd, the future husband of Cheryl Ladd, lives with his grandfather after his mother passed away. Nello loves art and paintings and longs to be a painter. He frequently sneaks into the local cathedral to avoid paying a franc to see original paintings by Peter Paul Rubens. However, Nello's grandfather is poor and the pair can barely afford to eat, much less purchase paints for Nello. However, in spite of the little they have the two are happy. Life changes for Nello when he and his grandfather come upon a dog left to die. Nello wants to adopt the dog and help it, and his grandfather reluctantly agrees. The principal difficulty is that there is barely enough food for Nello and his grandfather, and the dog is just that much more burden. Things continue to degrade for Nello as the miller refuses to allow his daughter to play with Nello after catching Nello drawing her picture. Then the man who abandoned the dog tries twice to take it back, planning to abuse the dog again. The second time the man attempts to take the dog back the miller gets involved and the man meets an unfortunate end. It seems as though life continues to go down hill for Nello. There is one bright spot in Nello's life. He has made a kind of friend of a painter in Antwerp who, after yelling and complaining to Nello, has started to help Nello realize his ambition of becoming a painter. Ultimately the painter helps Nello enter a local painting competition by providing Nello with paper and paints. Nello's grandfather sold some things and allowed Nello to buy a brush before he died. Nello's one great hope is that he will win the painting contest, which will allow him to continue to live in his rented hovel. While you can see where Nello has hope that all will turn out well, there are too many factors working against Nello, and eventually he gives his dog to the Miller's daughter and leaves. In the meantime, the painter has found the painting that Nello has entered in the contest and wants to talk to him about it, but then he finds that Nello has disappeared. Where did Nello go? What will happen to his dog? Did I mention that Nello wonders why the painter has yet to marry his model, who is obviously in love with him? I leave these questions for you to answer if you can find a copy of this movie. Difficult to see from the quality of the movie, but the paintings by Peter Paul Rubens are truly wondrous and appear to be authentic. Even with the weak video I will still impressed by these magnificent paintings. The cathedral in which they were housed, which the end credits states is genuine, is gorgeous, a fitting home for the art within. The quality of this movie may leave a bit to be desired, as the performances vary from wooden to hammy, but the scenery in 1959 Belgium and Holland, especially the cathedral interiors, is beautiful, and the story should appeal to mature children ages 7 and above who can handle the occasional violence. David Ladd is wonderful as the center of the attention and his perfect blend of enthusiasm and innocence brings to mind Little Orphan Annie. " Dog of Flanders older version Donna M. Beverin | Earleville, Maryland United States | 09/14/2001 (5 out of 5 stars) "I love the Dog of Flanders. I saw the movie of the same title made several years ago. Then at my library I found this older edition and was so pleased when I found it still in print and available .... The older edition is different abit from the newer version; however I love both stories.
It is a classic of the highest standards. The original book has a sad ending and I am glad the movies are more joyful! Excellent movies for children to see, especially any children with artistic talent! Enjoy!" |
