The Return of Rin Tin Tin (1947) – IMDb

In this Eagle-Lion Picture, young Bobby Blake stars as a war orphan boy who war widow Claudia Drake has adopted as he was the son of an old friend of her’s who went to Europe with her husband. The kid has certainly seen enough of the bad in the world and is withdrawn. Drake has him spend the summer with Father Donald Woods at a mission.

While there Bobby befriends a runaway German shepherd with the name of, you guessed it Rin Tin Tin. It’s even on the dog’s identification so you know he belongs to someone. He belongs to Steve Pendleton.

However boys and dogs are meant for each other and you know that this will come about as it always does in movies.

The Return Of Rin Tin Tin did not get a big budget return to the silver screen. It’s a cheaply made film that is in bad need of restoration if someone wants to bother. It’s sincerely made though.
