It's the Dog!

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2011)

You have heard it before! This movie draws comparisons to "A Star is Born", "Singin' in the Rain", "City Lights" and in my opinion every "Thin Man" movie that Asta was in. And speaking of "Singin' in the Rain" did anyone notice the eerie resemblance to Jean Hagen in this movie? Well, back to the dog! My wife is an animal lover and hates to see movies where animals get hurt. Refueses to ever see "The Wizard of Oz" and any "Lassie" movie. No need to worry about this movie. Uggie the dog steals every scene he is in and plays an integral part in the outcome of the movie. (Spoiler!) The "Bang" scene with the dog is quite moving.
Any awards given to this movie are much deserved. You will be entertained and leave with a smile on your face. Oh, there are few spoken words and just for you trivia people, Marcel Marceau does not appear in the movie.
