Who saw "Old Yeller?" Who cried when Old Yeller got shot at the end? |

1. Nobody cried when Old Yeller got shot? I'm sure. |

3. Our town of 50,000 people had two movie theaters downtown, right around the corner from each other, |
|
. . . Once, MiddleFingerMomMom dropped me and my friend Ricky off at the Capitol Theater to see "Old Yeller". We waited 'til she drove off -- then ran around the corner to the Michigan Theater and went in to watch "The Graduate" (I still have a crush on Anne Bancroft/Mrs. Robinson to this day). . Ricky's mom picked us up (in front of "Old Yeller") and dropped me off at home. In the front door and straight up to my room. . MiddleFingerMomMom called after me, "How was the movie." . "Aw, it was about some dog. It was sad. I gotta go to bed now." . . . . . I never did see "Old Yeller" 'til I was about 40 years old. . . . And, yes... I did cry. . . .

6. I always loved Anne Bancroft's looks |
|
BUT...
You weren't taken in by Katharine Ross?! I loved her clothes (well, her total look) in "The Graduate" & "The Stepford Wives". She was one of my favorites.

11. Also "Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid" -- she's pretty, but kinda generically so... |
|
. . . ... and she never really bowled me over in any of her roles... whereas Anne Bancroft was hot and vaguely exotic. . . . Damn you, husband Mel Brooks... damn you!!! . . .

15. Shooting the dog symbolized the kid's passage to manhood. |
|
In native American societies, at least in the East, women created life and men took it. That is, women raised children, maize and vegetables. Men hunted, sometimes harvested, cut wood and made war. A boy lived in the women's world until he was old enough to ritually die as a boy and resurrect as a man. In this film shooting the dog with what had become synonymous with white, male citizenship--firearms--symbolized the transformation.

16. Don't remember seeing OY as a kid, but I do remember crying my |

eyes out while reading "The Yearling." As I got to the really, really sad part, my Mommy Dearest, empathy not being her strong suit, told me to quit all the sobbing and blubbering RIGHT NOW and get to the table for dinner.

It's even more frightening to think that there are enough people on this board who remember "Ol Yeller" God I'm old!
So, who had a crush on Annette?

I do know I read the shit out of the book and its sequel Savage Sam. Old Yeller, the film, came out 3 years before I was born and while I definitely remember seeing it, I probably saw it in a theatrical re-release or caught it while watching The Wonderful World of Disney.
I had a serious animals-as-protagonist reading phase when I was in grade school and I imagine Old Yeller was book/patient zero.

24. I thought they shot him in the head? That would have been the humane thing to do. |
|
End shots hurt like a sonofabitch.
Oh and BTW, I cried too. I may be a bass player, but I do have feelings. :)

I cry whenever an animal is killed or dies whether in the movies or real life.

Being a country kid, I knew they had to shoot him because he had rabies, but that fact didn't make the loss any easier to take.
