- Who'll love it
- A natural pick for fans of medical drama and animal lovers. Life-and-death stakes, often at a run. Fans of Hachi: A Dog's Tale should feel right at home. An animal steals a fair few scenes.
- The mood
- Feel-good.
- The pace
- Paced for all ages, at 1 hr 7 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- Made in 1948: an older pace and style.
- Probably not for a grown-ups-only night in.
Faithful dog Rusty helps his master's father win a mayoral race.
