Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

Diagonaldi Very well executed

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Orla Zuniga It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

csemmelink It was in December of 1974 during a fuel shortage or embargo. We were driving down the Sani Pass on vapors in a VW micro bus from Lesotho into South Africa. From my memory, they didn't film in Lesotho but in the Drakenstein Mountains in South Africa. We hung out with the crew for a bit, played with the dog and its double and then bought some petrol from them and continued to the Natal Coast. We did go see the movie when it came out in Cape Town and later I saw it on TV in the States. Very different endings. It is a good little moral tale playing to decent sentiments in a country that was beginning to come to terms with the reality of apartheid only to come unstuck in 1976. The American version wasn't as effective.

dknytodd I saw this at the Boys and Girls club in 1978. I was only 5 yrs old. This movie has stayed in my brain more than any other. I just recently watched it again on DVD and that one scene (if you've seen it...you know the one i mean) was just as horrifying to me now as it was back in '78. I went for a long time describing this movie to folks who had no idea what I was talking about. Thank god for Google. can't remember what I finally typed in to get a hit but it brought me here and after reading these comments and finding out the title of this film I tracked it down. So glad I did. It was weird seeing something again after 30 years. Definitely a good film. Keep in mind it is very sentimental but only in the very BEST way. I gave it a 10 because of it's resonance. I think this may have been the first full feature I ever watched with a projector.

SCarroll_76 A very heart-warming story and I would love to see it again. I saw this movie about 20 years ago and its one of the few I never forgot.(having only seen it once). It tells the story of two children who become best of friends and get up to all kinds of mischief, some we can probably relate to ourselves. My memories of the adult actors are vague but I always remember the two youngsters who had me engrossed as an 8 year old.It teaches us about the true value of friendship and this is highlighted especially in a certain moment in the movie.A great movie for kids and adults alike.

hmilerty This is one of the best kept secrets regarding films I have ever seen. The story is a must for both children and adults alike and clearly and quite beautifully illustrates the brotherhood of mankind.I urge all people to see this film, I saw the film when I was 7 and it's memory has never left me since.
