Saw the title in the local cable program guide and felt I had to check it out when I saw James Cromwell was featured. It's almost unfair to call this great film a family picture for fear of frightening away many potential viewers. Family fare that has not been dumbed down for a juvenile audience. Casting is spot on from top to bottom and scenes are truly beautiful. I shall visit my local video store in the morning to hopefully find Owd Bob on DVD and share it with my wife for our mutual enjoyment. I rate this an eight and ask, as have other reviewers, why don't films such as this receive the promotion they deserve?
