Brief Synopsis. Read More. Jean Anderson, Donald Pleasence, Richard Williams, Maureen Pryor, Andrew Keir. Donald Pleasence is perhaps too believable as a cruel father who disapproves of his son's friendship with a St. Bernard and takes great pains to separate them.
Understandably, his son is devastated and sets about to prevent Rudi from being taken, even if this brings him quite literally to blows with his abusive father - menacingly played by a young (er) Donald Pleasence (with hair!) This is pure, short RANK escapism and contains few cinematic revelations.
