WHERE THE RED FERN GROWS (Theatrical Release USA 1974)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.9|5.0 Starsìììì

Where the Red Fern Grows—faultless jewel that needs no polishing—does not falter in natural, simple, and realistic presentation of Wilson Rawls’ classic novel. Bravo! Special thank you to Director Norman Tokar for outstanding direction.
