Starring James Whitmore, Beverly Garland, Jack Ging, Lonny Chapman, Stewart Petersen.
Rated G
For parents: The film extols the value of hard work and loyalty to build character, and offers a realistic, unflinching look at backwoods life in the 1930s (Common Sense Media) and has a few emotionally difficult scenes that may be too much for sensitive children.
