Neal 1,853 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I spent my honeymoon in Belstone, and we saw a fox, so does that count? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geoff.C 0 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I wonder why you are asking about it? Has the film been on TV recently? I last watched it quite some years ago, I think it was in black and white? Can't fully remember the story now, but it was a nice enough film, a crafty fox and country life when Britain was still great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dytkos 17,755 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Very old film which we watched avidly up country about 30 years ago. I now live about 3/4 of an hour away from the location and have hunted with the Moorland packs around there. Nuff said!! Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest coney catcher99 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 i think its a good watch better than alot of shit being made now mostly pictures and music Quote Link to post Share on other sites
proper job 1 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 The book is much better than the film, Dennis Waterman as a whipper-in never quite did it for me. The hunt followers and hounds used for the film were from The West Somerset Vale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
njc110381 0 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 It's an ok film. Kind of sad really though so I didn't like it that much. I have it on video somewhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouse 282 Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 brilliant film and book. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest foxyjo. Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I love it! I had it on DVD and lent it to someone who never returned it... Lovely, sad, funny, bit sentimental but coming from me....that might be a tad hypocritical!!!! I'm happy to watch anything about hunting that isn't widely anti though...

waz77 15 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 I liked the film but was a poor portrayal of terrier work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thepriest 0 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) I can remember bits of it, The bit that sticks in my mind was the hounds getting mashed by the train. Crafty little ferker. I much prefer Tarka the otter, Pukka film Edited November 17, 2008 by thepriest Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aaron 3 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 im with waz, a good film but it doesnt put a good light on terrierwork! Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 1,853 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Tarka the Otter is based in the same area; in fact there's a few lines from the book carved into a bridge a short walk between Belstone and Sticklepath. Beautiful spot! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The one 8,449 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 That's a real oldie a blast from the past like tarka the otter and ring of bright water good in there time but dated nowdays Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Missie 1 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 The book is excellent but i've not seen the film. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
