Summary: Neglected Classic
Comment: In 1956, some of the great names of Hollywood came together to make a film they all could be proud of, and Good-Bye, My Lady is that film. It is still remarkable today when this kind of project succeeds, but this one really did. Look at the list: Producer, John Wayne; Director, William Wellman; the greatest character actor ever, Walter Brennan; the hottest boy actor of the day, Brandon de Wilde [Shane, Member of the Wedding], a great script from a well reviewed novel, even the rest of the cast like Phil Harris and Sidney Poitier! Others have pointed out the niceties of the script, such as when the boy, Claude, picks up on his uncle's colloquialisms, and quietly shows his respect and love for the old man by adopting these phrases into his own usage. Such a sweet film, with no hackneyed or kitschy layerings, no Disneyisms to spoil the excellence of the acting and storytelling. The only thing missing is a DVD release! Come on Warners, if people are still trading fifteen year old VHS tapes for a film with so many five star reviews, now is the time for DVD! And for you Brandon de Wilde fans, I think this was his best, and that is saying a lot, considering Shane and Member of the Wedding!

Summary: Goodbye My Lady
Comment: This is an excellent family film from the 1950's
with tender performances by Walter Brennan and Brandon de Wilde.
It even featured an appearance by Sidney Portier. Although it is in black and white, it still can captivate the viewer. this is the kind of movie that they don't make any more, but should.

Summary: Wonderful memories
Comment: I was a little girl when my family saw this movie on a Friday night at the Drive-in theater when it was first released, way back when. The next morning Dad found a kennel in Santa Ana, CA that had basenji's and we went to check them out. Came home that day with a petite 6 month old red and white girl. 2 years later we added a Tri-colored boy to the family. I fell madly in love with them and always wanted one but could never afford the high price tag. Last summer I discovered the Basenji Rescue and Transport website on the internet and started watching for a red and white rescue basenji female. Thanksgiving Day "Gracie" came to live with my husband and I and we are in love. I still can't believe I have such a beautiful, sweet red girl on the end of the leash when we are out walking. Thank you BRAT and thank you "Goodbye My Lady" for opening up the world of Basenji's to us! I still watch this movie and am charmed by it just as I was all those many years ago.

Summary: Good-bye My Lady
Comment: Great movie depicting the love shared between a boy and his dog. As always, Walter Brennon plays an excellent part as the boy's uncle and of how children should be raised and the shaping of a child's character.

Summary: Basenji Lover
Comment: I saw this movie as a teenager in the mid 50's and fell in love with "Lady" the Basenji heroine of the movie; so much so that over twenty years later, while I was browsing a large mall's bookstore, my 12 year old daughter came running in to tell me the mall's pet shop "Has one of those dogs from Africa that you've told me about....you know, the ones that don't bark." I had never seen a Basenji "in the flesh" before, but an hour or so later we were walking out of the mall with the 'senji pup who became Star held under my daughter's coat to keep her out of the rain. That started a love affair that has now lasted nearly thirty years with the ashes of Star and four more of my beloved Basenjis scattered beneath a giant oak tree near where they used to love to run free. My current 'senji is a tri-color retired show champion, my hiking partner, backpacking partner and four wheeling partner and all 'round best friend....all thanks to "Goodbye My Lady".
