Watched an Alan Ladd movie last night - "The Proud Rebel".
Co-starring Olivia de Havilland.
Thought the movie was OK but was really worried at times about the Border Collie mix getting shot by feuding neighbors. But the straw that broke the camel's back was when Ladd's character SOLD THE DOG so his son could get an operation to restore his speech.
I couldn't believe he'd do something like that - I was yelling at the TV at him and I know his ears were burning considering the colorful language I was using. I mean who sells their son's dog - behind his back - no matter what the friggin' reason?!?
In the end the boy got his dog back but that last 45 minutes of the movie was pretty intense for me.
The other thing was the legendary actress Olivia de Havilland was amazing in her role. Just fantastic!
I was curious about her so did a Google search and gotta say she really was an amazing woman - apart from what we know from her motion picture career. Pretty inspiring.
