I remember this movie fondly. I watched it for the first time standing behind my bedroom door, peeking into the living room, because I was supposed to have been in bed ;-) I enjoyed it so much that I wasn't sure later, as an adult, that I could possibly have remembered it accurately - childhood memories can be misleading. So I tracked down a rental copy and surprise! If anything I loved it more - adult perceptions picked up on some humor that had sailed right over my youthful head.Check preconceptions at the door, lock away logic and just sit back with a bowl of popcorn and enjoy!

I just happen to come across this movie as I am watching TV on a lazy afternoon. Thats back before a certain classic movie channel decided to annoy everyone by inserting TV ads during a movie. That is also when I used to watch AMC a lot and I was on the right channel at the right time. This movie is a true classic. I have yet to see another film like this one. Very enjoyable. I hope someday TCM takes a hint and brings it back. That is so other people can see it. They will not be disappointed. Anyone who watched Sky King will recognize Moose Tanner as the guy with a headlock on "Rex" in jail. So if anyone should happen to come across this movie on their guide, sit back and enjoy. It does not get boring towards the end like some movies do and it will always what they will say next.

It doesn't matter whether you love animals or not, this is a fun movie. I loved it as a kid, and stumbled on it again as an adult. I didn't expect to enjoy it as an adult, but I thought it was even better than what I remembered. The cast was great. My husband agreed that it was great fun, and to my surprise,even my daughter (who doesn't like anything in B&W) loved it. She's tried to get a copy to show her children. I would love to see this released on DVD. Although I loved "Oh, Heavenly Dog" with Chevy Chase, "You Never Can Tell" was better. I doubt they could improve on it if they did film a remake. If you get a chance, this is definitely one movie worth watching.

This movie is great. My wife and I adore it. There is no violence. It is a comedy that can be watched over and over. This is a true classic. I wish it was available on video or DVD (yes it is that good). Basic story:- King the German Shepherd is left a fortune when his owner dies, someone poisons him and he returns to earth as a PI called Rex Shepherd to bring his killer to justice. I won't tell you any more as it will spoil it for you. Bye........
