Trivia:
MGM had actually begun filming "The Yearling" in 1941 with Spencer Tracy, Anne Revere, and Atlanta native Gene Eckman (who never appeared in another film) in the starring roles, Roddy McDowall as Fodderwing, and Victor Fleming directing, but the production ran into innumerable problems, including Eckman growing too quickly during filming, his thick local accent (which conflicted with Tracy's vocal quality), swarms of mosquitoes, and conflicts between Fleming and producer Sidney Franklin. After King Vidor agreed to take over directing but then dropped out, the project was cancelled - at a loss of $500,000 - when the United States entered World War II.

A Great Family Classic, 25 February 2004

If you want a movie you can sit down with your kids and really enjoy this
film would be it!! It is so hard to find a film now that shows love,
working
to keep family and food, poisitive outlooks. There is the mom who is
closed
off from some tragities of her own...but a door opens up for her and helps
her lead to love.
I want my kids to one day see this film, they so far are pretty positive
and would love to see the boy (Jody) running around so free and happy,
plus
there are many animals in here that kids just love to see!!! Although the
ending like most classics are hard to swallow a lot comes from a bad
thing,
sometimes it seems to take a really sad thing to happen before people can
change and truly come together.
