"LADDIE" -- 1940 ("Laddie, A True Blue Story" by Gene Stratton-Porter)
I've read and own this delightful story. I was happy to find that it was made to a movie!
"Laddie Stanton (Tim Holt) lives on the farm run by his father John (Robert H. Barrat), with a mother and four younger siblings, while on the neighboring farm lives Charles Pryor (Miles Mander), with wife Anna (Mary Forbes) and daughter Pamela (Virginia Gilmore), recently immigrated from England. Laddie develops feelings for Pamela, whose demanding father makes no secret of his disapproval. 'Little Sister' seems to know everyone's secrets, and even speaks for Laddie with Pamela when he's right there (her tendency to blurt out confidences never seems to get her into trouble). Charles is a very strict military man, whose son Robert (Peter Cushing) has performed an undisclosed indiscretion back in England that led to their relocating to this tiny Indiana community. He looks down on the Stantons because they are farmers, taking pride in the soil which gives back so much, producing the goods that end up on everyone's dinner table. It's definitely an old fashioned story with universal appeal, played with believable warmth..".IMBD

Treasure from your Grandmother! Marilyn, “Freckles” was my 1st Gene Stratton Porter book, too! I was so amazed and inspired by her descriptive, inspiring writing and wonderful story I’ve been able to share her books with many others over the years! She taught me so much through her writings about natural history. Eventually I learned how to “grow” ;) my own Black Swallowtail Butterflies and capture their life cycles with family-and my students when I was teaching-unforgettable moments thanks to a very special pioneering woman!

[@robertschaaf7192]

the Limberlost :)

[@lsmart]

Thanks a ton for the download. A delightful, heart-warming film, wonderfully educational for kids and adults alike. If Wikipedia's report that "the common view was that the film was overall unremarkable and was 'best for the hinterlands" is accurate, I am really surprised. Lots of fine acting, but little Joan Carroll steals the show by a country mile, and was well worth the ticket price all by herself. She even gave Shirley Temple a run for her money.

[@cherylmockotr]

I thought she was better than Shirley Temple! I'd never heard of her before so I looked her up. Apparently she "retired" from acting at the ripe old age of 14!

[@one4allfour1]

+flyinspirals Im so glad I could give you and your Mom some happy movies. Honestly, I watch or listen to good Classic movies over and over because it's much better to have these things in your mind (just my opinion) than what is on cable tv or over the air tv. Thank you for telling me about your Mom and You and all your pets! My sister and I, always, thanks to our Mom and Dad, had lots of pets, too! My Dad is a retired Park Ranger in Michigan so we grew up loving and respecting nature and animals. I don't know how many times my Dad helped us mend and grow baby birds, then release them, or give in to us on another animal or bird ;) Though we grew up in Detroit (my Dad commuted to the Park were he worked) we had and loved a wonderful bird dog, hamsters (Mom said no mice!), guinea pigs, parakeets, kittens, turtles, fish, and even a turtle dove named We would save our allowance for doing chores and walk up to the Woolworth by our house and pick out a new animal or fish or bird whenever our stock got too low (our bird dog liked to thin our herd) if she could sneak up to our bedroom...oh the heartbreak of finding a cage overturned, and empty! Many times my Dad had to rehabilitate animals and birds. I remember a bald eagle, an owl, and of course deer were everywhere! My husband and I let our children grow up having a variety of pets also (as much for me as for them, I think!) I'll keep searching for and adding great movies with children and animals. Be sure to go through my Playlist as you'll find Shirley Temple Movies, also! (My Great Aunt LOVED her ;-)

[@bonniewilliams9171]

one4allfour1 Hi, loved your comment. Sure is a blessing to be raised that way. I was raised by my grandma on a farm. We had many barn cats. When I was very small I slept with grandma and I would bring kittens into the bed and put them at the foot of the bed so grandma wouldn't know. But they always crawled up and grandma would get mad,but she never made me take them out. We still have too many animals. Have had the usual cats and dogs, horses cows pigs, then as an adult hamsters, squirrels, guinea pigs ( even a Peruvian) and a baby muskrat! I tell people our hearts are bigger than our brains! But we have enjoyed all our fur babies. Bless you, thanks for your movies.

Thought this movie so sweet and how about the early rift between the "farmer" class and the non-labor bus class. I found a Imperial Moth and it led me to another of Gene Stratton-Porter's books, "A Girl of the Limberlost". Way ahead of her time in so many ways.

[@one4allfour1]

I so agree about her being ahead of her time. If you're able to, read more of her writings, I think you would really enjoy "The Keeper of the Bees", "Freckles", and "The Harvester". I found almost all her books on eBay. I've learned soooo much about Nature because of her! I even began, years ago after reading "Freckles" and 'A Girl of the Limberlost" planting parsley among my grapevines and veggies to attract Black Swallowtails. Every year they lay their eggs on my parsley and I take the caterpillars into a jar when they're ready to secrete their cocoons around themselves. My whole family and my little preschool students over the years have watched the miracle of their cycle of emerging as tiny, wet little things, then watching their wings slowly fluttering back and forth, growing larger and larger. I eventually learned that I could gently coax them onto my finger. They turn themselves upside down, their little feet clinging gently (I can "feel" their feet as I recall this to you! I also learned that if we put them outside in the sun they dry out much quicker and they seem to vibrate in the light or heat! Lightbulbs work, too. And when they right themselves, they are ready to fly. When they take off into the sky, there is no feeling like this as well. You've been priveledged to take part in the miracle of "Rebirth"!

[@one4allfour1]

I'm so glad!! Could I offer another one of her books (ok...3!) that are my favorites (though I LOVE almost all of them) "Michael O'Halloran", "A Girl of the Limberlost", and "Freckles". They would all be wonderful to read to, or be read by your Grandaughter. Keepsakes for sure! (You would LOVE them, too, if you liked Laddie. "Keeper of the Bees", the book, is almost nothing like the movie I've added to our Classics list. The book story is intricate, encouraging, and a story you'll never forget, I promise :-) Oh, and p.s., a very affordable place to locate these books is Ebay! (I try to buy only by 1st or 2nd editions, hardbacks, of my favorite books. Sounds like you feel the same way.) I think Classics deserve to be passed on to loved ones, and paper-backed or cheapily bound reprints just aren't the same ;-) You'll be surprised at the 100+ year old book deals you can find on Ebay.

[@DraGnFly007]

Oh, there have been many child actors today that have played their parts with amazing skill for their age. I think the wholesome theme of this movie, acting, music, and theme it's differently. Kids today are portrayed in themes and situations that are inappropriate, and depending the part, aren't expected to do much. With all the child sexual abuse that has taken place for decades in the entertainment industry, pressure to look a certain way, early introduction to drugs and alcohol, and child actors with star hungry parents, kids don't stand a chance.
