Fascinating cast- Lassie's 'family' consists of Donald Crisp, Elsa Lanchester & Roddy McDowell and her purchasers' Nigel Bruce & a young Elizabeth Taylor! Elsewhere in the cast we have Edmund Gwenn, Dame May Whitty, Alan Napier and Arthur Shields. Unfortunately there is some dire accent work in both the Yorkshire and Scottish scenes but despite this the film has great heart and is beautifully and colourfully filmed. Bruce, billed 5th as the Duke of Rudling is in excellent form, avuncular, twinkly and grumpy at different times.
