I watched this film at school for Christmas as a 10 year old. I couldn’t stop crying at the end. 40 years later, I still cry at this film and that beautiful song by Val Doonigan ❣️❣️

"I see you! The man with the beautiful fish!" First, Mij the otter wants his master's prize fish. Then, Mij brings fish to his master like a cat brings mice to his. Graham is wonderful! He raises four orphaned geese, then, tries to teach them to fly. What a wonderful man! :) I love this book! I love this movie! I love this actor and his beautiful wife for all they've done..."Born Free;" etc! :) I believe that the lead character, Graham Merrill (played by Bill Travers), is supposed to be the author of the book "Ring of Bright Water," Gavin Maxwell. If so, it's no surprise that he can go from the comfy city of London to the outdoorsy country of Scotland overnight, and, adapt so easily. Walking over hills and across fields, sleeping on bare floors, foraging for himself, and, chasing that crazy-lovely otter all over the place. He was a Special Operator in the British Special Forces during World War II...the SAS. Who Dares Wins! :) Also - The son of a stage manager, Bill joined the Gurkha Regiment in the British Army, during World War II, fighting guerilla actions behind enemy lines in India and Burma. He left the army with the rank of major in 1947. (Of Bill Travers, IMDb). I watch this movie over and over when I can, but, I always skip the ending. :(

+classiclistener01 The Georgian children really loved that. Now I have more experience, I cannot alas use this because the diction is not great, and , well...there should really be a new film which interweaves 'Ring of Bright Water' and Maxwell's life...then the tragedy of the burned house could provide the catharsis...The London scenes are a bit weak...it would be better to have some Iraq marshes scenes for the start...

I remember crying at the end of this as a kid when he murders midge with a spade and says " I thought it were a wild one" Why anyone would want to kill a wild otter anyway gets me? Maybe he was worried it would eat his fish for dinner..

Interesting nods to the BBC sci-fi/spy thriller The Prisoner. Maxwell's friend at work is the actor who played Cobb in the Prisoner Episode #1 "Arrival." Then in the pub, an undertaker in a stovepipe hat stares at him, reminiscent of The Prisoner's opening credits. I'm sure this was all intentional.

OrchestrationOnline l have to agree after just seeing this movie for the first time. Especially about the undertaker which immediately jumped out at me. However Peter Jefferies didn't play Cobb in 'Arrival'. That was Paul Eddngton from The Good Life and Yes Minister. There are 2 more connection to The Prisoner. June Ellis the barmaid appears in the episode A Change Of Mind and Christopher Benjamin (the fishmonger) plays Potter in both Danger Man and The Prisoner as well as No2's assistant and the labour exchange manager! B.C.N.U...

+Shawna Mac Thank you. I am really nervous when I see the notifications popping up on the Google page and wonder if some otter is not about to gnaw through me. Steeling myself to come and look, I am very cheered by your comment. I was giving this deeper thought. I am not familiar (any more) with the book; its style is too elaborate for use in teaching and I guess it is somewhat questionable as a literary classic, in spite of its huge sales at the time. It seems to me the ideal film would include Southern Iraq and Thesiger and Kathleen Raine and the rowan tree and the curse and the fire, thus enabling the otters to die in a credible way. In art, you need sometimes to privilege the inner effect you are making over the gaudy outer one: modern operatic productions have forgotten that altogether. Because shock and horror and revulsion drive out contemplation; and people forget (a few great philosophers of Kathleen Raine's day opined) that even with film, contemplation is a sine qua non of real aesthetic involvement, and that sense of being moved (when I was young, cinema did this once or twice: do you remember the sensation of coming out into the bright lights of the city and finding it something of a shock?) I notice I seem to have said the same to someone who castigated me via few abbreviations and buzz words a while back... And how poor the diction is! Useless really, for teaching! We need a new film, and a better one! The landscapes are still faithful, and the otters, too, I guess, remain on board..!

I confess, I was so traumatized by seeing that as a boy, that when I was editing this for the schoolchildren, I just fast forwarded in a blur (a bit like my 'double specs' technique for deleting offensive Facebook posts and emails telling me about them' - as an artist I value the purity of the mind...) - and so have no clear idea what I edited out. Dishonest maybe. I do not care if the Literalists nail me for that. What I do know is that no children were sad, (or scared) other than for the pathos of the otter in itself, as Heidegger might have called it... remember, those teeth can take off a finger or two...! I updated the previous post as well...

Thanks for posting. I agree with your comments. While I dislike seeing any art form interfered with, we do live in a different age where kids are exposed to so many violent REAL situations online, so in this case I think tis best left out. Like you when I was a child and watched it on TV I was horrified and always have been since at that scene. When I watched the whole film i skipped that bit. Funny thing is now I have a pond in the backyard and otters sometimes come by. Cheers.

‘Friends’. She is a made up character as the doctor. Such a shame. Maxwell’s friend was Kathleen, a poet and writer…..but he wasn’t interested in women, even tho she calls him ‘the love of my life’. But, she felt guilty for the death of Mij. She took her eye off him on the walk with the dog Johnnie, and that thick uneducated road mender killed Mij.
