Vintage Short Fala at Hyde Park
Classic Cartoon Puttin' on the Dog

End of press release.

This was actually pretty good news from my standpoint since I have always been exceptionally fond of "Hills of Home" and wondered why Warners didn't put it out on DVD when they were releasing all of the...

Good Classics!
All of these Lassie movies are good. The one I didn't know about was the "Hills of Home." It stars the same fellow who was Santa in "The Miracle on 34th Street"-Edmund Gwenn. He is superb, and the 'Hills of Home" is the best of these charming movies, in my opinion. There is less Lassie, and more story in this one. You will not go wrong purchasing this 4-pack.

Lassie movies
It's nice to sit down and enjoy a movie without having to rush all the kids out of the room. Old fashioned, maybe, but they don't write movies like they used to. Great family entertainment. The message always reminds me of how it used to be.
