For the Love of Rusty (1947)



Columbia Pictures
Directed by John Sturges
My rating: 3 stars out of 4

Better-than-average boy and his dog programmer boistered by the wonderful performance of British actor Aubrey Mather, who plays the mysterious veterinarian Dr. Francis Xavier Fay. Our hero Danny is having problems relating to his father, and is drawn to the free lifestyle of the travelling veterinarian camping out in the woods. When Rusty accidentally causes a ruckus at a carnival, Danny runs away to live with the vet. There is a moving final scene with Danny and his father under the "celestial canopy".
