Lady, a golden cocker spaniel, meets up with a mongrel dog who calls himself the Tramp. He is obviously from the wrong side of town, but happenings at Lady's home make her decide to travel with him for a while. This turns out to be a bad move, as no dog is above the law.Written by

Jim Dear:
[Giving Darling a hatbox]
It's for you, Darling. Merry Christmas.
Darling:
Oh, Jim, dear. It's the one I was admiring, isn't it? Trimmed with ribbons?
Jim Dear:
Well, it *has* a ribbon.
[the box is opened; inside is a puppy wearing a ribbon]
Darling:
Oh, how sweet.
Jim Dear:
You like her, Darling?

Peggy Lee was a national treasure. What an amazing thing that she wrote most of the music for this movie, but only in old age did she receive credit. I agree that issues of class seem merely consistent with the era, but consider that the flavor of the day was vanilla. So in those days going out for Italian was a walk on the wild side (unless you grew up in Brooklyn)! Then an upper-crust girl marries a boy of mixed race origins?! And it's clear from the dog pound scene that Peg "got around" (just look at her hair!), nevertheless, she was valued and respected among the dogs. Yes, the film is hokey. But rats are evil. And the soundtrack is outstanding.
