The Yearling
US (1946): Drama
Child actor Claude Jarman Jr. won a Special Oscar®: for his lead performance as the boy hero of Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings' novel, which concerns a lad's love of a fawn in the post-Civil War era. Gregory Peck and Jane Wyman are memorable as his parents, their emotions divided in the aftermath of so much tragedy and their lives affected by the boy's passion for his yearling. Clarence Brown directs this MGM heartbreaker, which will not leave a dry eye in the room. (Amazon.com)
