Ted-C The 1940 version of "The Biscuit Eater" is one of the best B movies ever made. Note that I'm using the term "B movie" in its original sense of a low budget film intended to be shown as a second feature. "The Narrow Margin" with Charles McGraw is an example of a B movie that is much superior to the expensive remake (with Gene Hackman), a so-called "A movie". Many reviewers of the Biscuit Eater have expressed the wish to purchase of copy of this movie. I was able to purchase a new DVD of the 1940 original from Loving The Classics. (www.lovingtheclassics.com) for only $14. Their web site lists The Biscuit Eater as one of their best sellers!

Steve-602 The comment from the person who saw this as an 8 year old certainly brought back memories for me.I must have seen this film at least three times during the pre-TV days of Saturday morning special programs for children.If you've ever sat in a theater packed with eight to twelve year olds all bawling their eyes out together, you know it is something you'll never forget. I was able to find a VHS of the movie in later years and was astonished to find how charming the picture is on the adult level as well. Kudos, hugs, and kisses to anyone still alive who helped put it together.

thegreifs something brought this film to my mind today..and i can still remember seeing it when i was child..a long,long time ago. i remember the ending and how moved i was as an eight year old and to this day i still feel that choked up feeling when i think of it..i have never caught it on any tv movie chanel..

rogrodd2 This film is the first sound picture filmed entirely on location, with good plot, and great action by the dogs that actually DO their stuff the way they were bred to do. I saw this film over five years ago, and can't seem to find it anywhere, either playing or on tape. I Highly recommend it to all families with any breed of dog in their homes. It's "breed specific" but that is just what it's about. Hope you can find a copy and enjoy it as much as I did.
