Every time it comes on TCM (like tonight) I tell myself, seen it...don't need to see again. But then if I watch the beginning, I'm hooked. Such an incredible movie. Love the writing, the photography, the acting, the story. Everything about it is exceptional. One of my favorite movies of all time.

I've seen it about four times. It always gets to me emotionally. A criminal, or anyone else, can be changed for life by pets like birds, dogs, cats, horses, etc. It's humanity's connection with nature's other beings that brings out the good in people. Truly inspiring.
