Format:VHS Tape
This is the story of a Man and his orphaned nephew who live in the Pascagoula swamps of Mississippi. They find a lost Besenji dog near the swamp, and the boy takes him in and trains him as a bird dog....much to the suprise and amazement of Mr. Cash the owner of several traditional bird dogs. The humor of the movie is mostly in the dialouge....terms such as "I'll be John Brown", and "Great day in the morning" pop up at various points. More heartwarming than the relationship between the boy and his dog, is the relationship between the boy and his Uncle Jesse Jackson, played brilliantly by Walter Brennan. You can see how proud of his nephew Jesse is and Claude, (Skeeter) uses all of his uncles sayings such as "Thats a jawbreaker". And is proud to have finally reached the age to share a cup of coffee with Jesse. (Though he must use a good helping of cream). I recomend this movie highly to sentimental baby boom age folks who miss the days of black and white, folksy stories, and also to fans of the late Walter Brennan who is at his best, as Jesse Jackson a man in need of some Roebuckers. (False Teeth). Get this movie, and sit back, relax and enjoy.

A boy named Claude and called "Skeeter" by all lives with his elderly uncle in a cabin in the Mississippi woods. They hunt for a living and have been able to get by.

One day Skeeter sees a strange, beautiful little dog being chased by hounds. He watches the unusual creature who makes a melodious yodeling sound, who cleans herself like a cat and has a tightly curled tail. After warding off the pack of hounds, the strange little dog shyly approaches Skeeter. He befriends the little dog, whom he names Lady and teaches her how to hunt. A bright, spirited little dog, Lady proves herself to be an able hunter. She and Skeeter are almost never apart.

Almost never, until...a neighbor reads of a missing basenji in the local paper. Skeeter is devastated by this as he loves his dog. Sidney Poitier, who plays a neighboring farmer is familiar with basenjis and had originally hoped to catch Lady for the reward. He sees how the basenji has bonded with Skeeter, so he tells the boy he could not part them.

Skeeter is torn between returning the beautiful basenji to her rightful owners or keeping her. It is a very moving story about the love of basenji. You might cry when you see how Skeeter wipes the dog's tears away when he says, "Goodbye, My Lady."

This is a wonderful movie.

Classical movie style elicits all the warm emotions of a timeless story about a boy, his loving grandpa, and their encounter with a "magical" (Basenji) dog. I first viewed this evocative movie on ABC-TV back in 1966. Within one year, I was the owner of a Basenji and have loved them ever since! This is a fabulous movie for anyone and add an extra star if you are a Basenji fan. Brennan and deWilde give tender yet powerfully convincing performances.

Touching story
Retro movie with outstanding cast, presented values from another day. Black and white format was carried through the theme and choices of the characters.

Good-bye My Lady
This movie is a heart warming Lassie type tale with a Basenji hound instead of a Collie. You might find it a bit corny, but it is fun to watch. Read more

Nostalgic, but dated children's movie
The best part of this dated "coming of age" movie was the basenji. Like the James Steet novel, the movie makes every child want to own one. Read more
