The Yearling 1946
The Yearling ★★★½ 1946
This family classic is a tear-jerking adaptation of the Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings novel about a young boy's love for a yearling fawn during the post Civil-War era. His father's encouragement and his mother's bitterness play against the story of unqualified love amid poverty and the boy's coming of age. Wonderful footage of Florida. Jarman was awarded a special Oscar as outstanding child actor. 128m/C VHS, DVD . Gregory Peck, Jane Wyman, Claude Jarman Jr., Chill Wills, Henry Travers, Jeff York, Forrest Tucker, June Lockhart, Margaret Wycherly; D: Clarence Brown; C: Charles Rosher. Oscars ‘46: Color Cinematog.; Golden Globes ‘47: Actor—Drama (Peck).
