The Biscuit Eater 1940 b&w move online

[gunner]

One of my favorite bird dog stories made into a b&w movie in 1940. I looked for years to find a copy of it and now you can see it in it's entirety online.

Enjoy...

Wilson Rawls, the author of Where the Red Fern Grows, lived in Idaho Falls for a while and mentions it in the book as where Billy watches the old redbone get into the fight with the local dogs. There is a statue of young Billy, Old Dan and Ann in front of our public library.

Seriously, wow..i will be sure to get there to see that one day!!..funny how movies/books can become such a part of your life because of the memories they create.. my dad read me that book when i was little, mind you, he HATED reading but knew i loved dogs so much and he loved that book with a passion..he told me one day when i was older i could have it..when i was 22 he passed away and left me a letter written on the inside of his copy of the book..for me its much more than a movie or book its a piece of my dad..its definitely my favorite movie!! .....ruth

If you get here look me up. I read the book the first time right after I graduated from college and I lived in N. Idaho where I got a Ches/Weim cross from the local pond. She roughly resembled the dogs in the book. I cried at the ending. I give that book to evey kid I know that gets into training hunting dogs.

I recorded this off of AMC in 1999 and wore the tape out watching it. I have looked for it every were including
on youtube thanks to whoever downloaded this and Gunner.

Will do..and all my girls have seen the movie and read the book too (well the 3 year old hasnt read it yet )..it should be in the school library, lots of kids would love it!!.....ruth

A little off subject and not about dogs, but "The Yearling" was also an excellent and emotional read. A real classic IMO.

Big Red. Irish setter whipped a bear and lived.

If a person reads where The Red Fern Grows and doesnt cry they are a cold heartless person!

Life Magazine goes to the movies, May 6th, 1940 for the opening of The Biscuit Eater.

I was surprised to learn that Promise was a British pointer raised in a kennel in London.

So gunner I have to say Thank you and I'm mad at you for putting this link up I'd never seen it before and was excited to watch it after I got back from training today and now that I watched it, I love and hate it just because of the end why can't there ever be a dog movie or a movie without a dog were something like that doesn't happen !
