16mm Film - The Good of His Soul - USA 1954 (Excerpt)
Directed by: James Neilson
Written by: Edward Hope and Jean Heavey
Cinematography by: Henry Freulich
Starring: Thomas Mitchell, John Beal, Rosemary DeCamp, Tommy Rettig, Jane Darwell, Ruth Robinson, Karolyn Grimes and of course Pal (Lassie)
Father Devlin has but one worldly possession - a dog named Spot. This collie is played by Pal, the famous 'Lassie', who was then owned and trained by Rudd Weatherwax. What makes this film so important? It is the very first acting appearance of Tommy Rettig along side of Lassie/Pal filmed even before the two pilot films of 'Jeff's Collie'. The sound of this 16mm film is bad because it is on shrinked acetat material.
