Follow Me Boys
If you want a good clean movie for your kids to enjoy for years to come, this is it! My kids have been watching it for years. I just had to buy it when it went to DVD to preserve a copy for my grandchildren.
I'd have gotten off the bus, too!
Lemuel Siddons is a musician (but studying to be a lawyer) with a travelling band around the early 1930s. The bus makes a brief stop in a small town called Hickory, a charming middle-America kind of place, and Lem makes a fateful decision to stay. He ends up volunteering to be the Boy Scout leader, impressing the sweet and beautiful Vida in the process. As a selfless Scout leader he touches the lives of the boys in the town down through the years and influences them for the better, particularly young Kurt Russell.
One of my favorite movies of all time, one I like to put on every once in a while when I need a great inspiring kind of movie. Fred MacMurray plays the role so wonderfully, and I'm reminded of kind Scoutmasters I had when growing up. But it's not just a great Scout movie, or a great family film, it's just a good entertaining movie to watch. Some people may call it a sappy and sentimental kind of Disney movie (as though that were something bad), but that's okay with me, I like it that way - and it's a LOT better than the majority of what the entertainment industry (Disney included, unfortunately) turns out now. I don't know if towns like Hickory ever really existed, but I like to think that that's how life used to be (and OUGHT to be).
