Although I acquired this one on DVD-R last year, I haven't watched the film in a few years because the last (and first) time I watched it, my own pet dog got sick the very same day and she kept stumbling and falling down on her face with each step she took! Even though, she's long gone now, I have two other pet dogs now and I wouldn't want anything to happen to them were I to watch it again! It's bad enough that the puppy nearly lost an eye to the jealous cat's claws a month after we got him...!!

Yeah, I was going to mention in the review if being a pet owner would make the film more touching for a viewer. I'm going to guess that if someone HATES pets then perhaps they wouldn't understand the love between the old man and his dog.

I betcha there'll be a renoir Eclipse DVD set that'll include A Day in the Country, and the other minor (and maybe a major like crime of monsieur lange) renoir's from the 1930s before the year is out.

I hope so. I wish Criterion (or Eclipse) would release the John Ford silents at some point. I've been searching them out the past week and only came across two (Straight Shootin' 1917 and The Iron Horse).
