I'd have to admit, that this movie is one of my favorites. I've seen it so many times that I know all the words to it. Its about two teenagers who fall in love, but the guy (Billy Joe) turns out to be gay, so he jumps off the Tallahatchie Bridge and kills himself. The other person who commented on this movie said that the god awful hillbilly accents didn't do much to add to his perception of the movie...but to me, that's what made it so real. I'm from the South. This movie was set in Mississippi, it deals with things that are becoming more and more common today and it was just an outright fine movie. The love story in itself was wonderful.

Savage Sam
(1963)
Loved it
13 April 1999
Okay...in my opinion, this sequel was better than the original. I cried my butt off in Old Yeller, but something about this movie makes me like it more than Old Yeller. I have seen Savage Sam so many times that I know ALL the words to it. It's a very good children's film, but its a "Movie that all audiences will love" If you like Old Yeller, and Where the Red Fern grows, you will love this movie.
