5.0 out of 5 stars I finally found it!!!!, June 20, 2002

By A Customer

I have been looking for this movie for some time. We rented it when I was under the age of 8 (too young to be interested in the title or actors). I could remember it had "the little boy from The Yearling". Also that Lassie and a red-haired opera singer were in it. Critics may think it slightly corny or mushy, but to an under-8-year-old, it was wonderful, sweet, touching, and exciting. What do they know? It was made for children, and we love it!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Sun Comes Up, February 15, 2001

By	Dudley Gilmer (Banner Elk, NC USA) - See all my reviews

This film has all the old cliches of a 1940s musical. While it does a disservice to the wonderful short story by Marjorie Rawlings (A Mother in Mannville)on which it was based, it is delightfully nostalgic as Jeanette McDonald's last movie. The Lassie part of the film is corny, and the rest is so typical of that era's movies that it is pure fun: the dramatic background music by Andre Previn; the sad,stoic orphan boy; the famous singer aching for her lost child! The best part is the mountain character Williegood played by Percy Kilbride.Don't think; enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars How I chose my name, February 13, 2000

By	Jerry Carter (San Antonio, Texas) - See all my reviews

My Mom and I saw "The Sun Comes Up", in 1949, when I was three years of age. I insisted on being called "Jerry", because it was the name of the child actor in this film. 50 years later, the name remains the same. This is not actually a review of the movie, as I remember very little about it except for the orphan Jerry and Lassie. This is an attempt to locate someone who might have a copy of this movie, I have not seen the film since I was three years old. If anyone reads this and can help, please e-mail me at [e-mail]. Thanks a lot.
