Not “The Yearling” he says:
“The most popular and well known version of the above plot was made into a movie and it was filmed in color in 1946 by MGM and it was called “The Yearling.” It was based on a book written by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. The 1946 color movie won several academy awards.
The black and white movie I remember seeing in the 1960s was different than the 1946 color movie filmed by MGM. When I wrote the above summary of the movie I saw I was not trying to create a “new version” of an old story. My basic objective in writing the above summary was to encourage people to carefully consider their decisions if they are thrust into a new environment and to not simply rely on strategies that may have been successful in a totally different environment”.
Always plant enough for the deer.
Seed arrived late and without full crop yield family loses farm. Farmer made several bad decisions not just the deer.
