"There is something depressing about it, and its not really about dogs. Except for some superficial bow-wow stuff at the start, the dogs all represent human types, which is where it gets into real trouble. Lady, the ostensible protagonist, is a fluffy blond Cocker Spaniel with absolutely nothing on her brain. Shes great-looking, but lets be honest incredibly insipid. Tramp, the love interest, is a smarmy braggart of the most obnoxious kind an oily jailbird out for a piece of tail, or
whatever he can get
.hes a self-confessed chicken thief, and all-around sleazeball. Whats the function of a film of this kind? Essentially as a primer on love and marriage directed at very young people, imprinting on their little psyches the idea that smooth-talking delinquents recently escaped from the local pound are a good match for nice girls from sheltered homes. When in ten years the icky human version of Tramp shows up around the house, their hormones will be racing and no one will understand why. Films like this program women to adore jerks." - Metropolitan.
