An Undated (probably 1960s) Re-Release Theatrical Linenbacked Italian Two-Panel (known in Italy as a "4 Fogli") Movie Poster (2p; measures 55" x 78" [140 x 198 cm]) (Learn More) Lassie Come Home, the classic 1943 Fred M. Wilcox collie canine dog family melodrama ("The picture that's true to life!"; "Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's Technicolor Triumph!"; "Based on the novel by Eric Knight, author of 'This Above All'"; "Eric Knight's great dog story 'Lassie Come Home'"; "All the thrilling and amazing tricks that made Lassie the most famous dog in the world.") starring Roddy McDowall, Donald Crisp, Dame May Whitty, Edmund Gwenn, Nigel Bruce, Elsa Lanchester, Lassie (in the title role), and Elizabeth Taylor. Note that this was Elizabeth Taylor's second movie, when she was 10 years old, and she had very low billing in this movie and the previous one. She would have two more movie roles with no billing at all in "Jane Eyre" and "White Cliffs of Dover", but then in 1945, she starred in "National Velvet", which made her a star. So her next movie, which was two years later, was a sequel to this movie called "Courage of Lassie", and she was given star billing, after having been seventh billed in this movie (and un-billed on the posters!)
