    • Trivia
      This was the only Lassie movie in which June Lockhart starred. However, 13 years later, she would appear in her first of 207 episodes of the Lassie (1954) television series.
    • Goofs
      The British plane flown by Joe has a maple leaf as mark so the plane should be Canadian. As the movie was shot in the States and Canada is likely a Canadian aircraft was used.
    • Quotes

      Sergeant Eddie Brown: [to Joe] Look boy, you don't have to put on an act with me. I've seen an army marshal bawl like a baby when he had to leave his dog.

    Boy loves dog, dog loves boy.
    This is a fine movie for animal lovers, for it is far more that the usual canine showcase. It is an exceptionally well made film in terms of technical excellence. The dialogue is always appropriate, the cinematography is very good, and the color is flawless. As the movie progresses the symbiotic relationship between Joe (Peter Lawford) and Laddie (son of a Lassie) enhances both roles. The cultural setting is that of World War Two, and Laddie experiences the full range of wartime threats, from being bombed to being captured, and so on. The supporting actors are good beyond expectation, and the topography of Norway (even though the movie was filmed in Canada) is precise. What is particularly unique about this film is that Laddie is not portrayed as a human in dog's clothing. Laddie is a dog that does what dogs do, both rightly and wrongly. One wonders how many children in the post-war era better understood war and its dangers after seeing this film. There must have been many. Bottom line: Lawford is better as a member of the dog pack that he ever was as one of the rat pack. This movie should not be missed!
