Frank C @RT52755077 Aug 3, 2025 I missed this in 1966, as I was busy in the Navy. This is so well done, incredibly heart warming, and a true story to boot!

I'm a massive cat lover and it tears my heart out. See more stuart s @RT58806048 Apr 16, 2023 My parents took me to see this movie as a very young child soon after it came out. I still remember it today. A very touching movie. Five stars.

Knowing that its based on a true story made me more interested to see what happened and thus, obviously, adds an extra layer of authenticity to it, although I can't say I've read the book the film is based on. There are some funny things that happen with Elsa, as well as some worrying and sad things at other times. I suppose its a bit of a simple story but I certainly enjoyed it and its family friendly viewing. I liked that it didn't seem to be a dumbed down film for kids, for one thing. There are certainly endearing scenes, with Elsa sleeping next to the Adamsons and so on. I'd recommend this film as an interesting adaptation of a book based on a true story, which is suitable for family viewing. See more Read all reviews
