The Adventures of Rusty ★★½ 1945

Forties family film series begins with this classic boy-meets-dog story. Danny's dog dies in an accident and his widowed father has just remarried so the kid's feeling pretty bad. Then he meets neglected German Shepherd Rusty, a former police dog with an undeservedly bad rep. Naturally, boy and dog bond and even capture a couple of escaped convicts (and Danny learns to love his stepmom too). 67m/B VHS . Ted Donaldson, Margaret Lindsay, Conrad Nagel, Gloria Holden; D: Paul Burnford; W: Aubrey Wisberg.
