So at the outset we get a man to man brawl, no one bothering to stop it, one of the men losing the fight and subsequently rejecting all help, skulking away in bitterness, and deciding the best way to fix the issue and his wounded pride is to become better at fighting. The issue isn’t the friends-turned-lovers plot itself—it’s perfectly fine to use it as long as it’s believable. A character kills a wolverine with an axe. A field is burned in an arson attack. We really didn’t need extra attention on Keg the bear, either. knocked unconscious. Later, Bridie delivers the post to Bucky and tries to flirt with him, but Bucky is oblivious. The clothes the characters wear, are so inviting that I have been searching for the exact same flannel shirts, the lace-up boots, and those iconic jackets worn by sportsmen back in the day. One conversation saves this film from Bechdel test failure: when Liddy, Bridie, and Sarah Mellott (Bridie’s mother) talk about the ermine cape that Sarah made for Liddy at Bucky’s request. He reveals he was jealous of her and Whit, but in spite of Bucky’s aggressive advances, Bridie tells Bucky he was the only boy she was ever interested in. The female characters are given little in terms of storyline, restricted to the roles of wives and girlfriends. Only when Cam is accidentally shot by the sportsman do the locals … What’s made worse is that this somehow makes Bridie interested in him again. Bucky is obviously confident enough to confront Whit in any context, so he could have instead just given Whit a verbal beat down instead of a physical one. Aggression, pride, stoicism, and refusing help are all seen as typical masculine traits and are considered normal during this time. It’s also hard to root for the main family. Families can talk about the animal cruelty in Those Calloways. Fist fights are shown as the only way to resolve conflict with characters repeatedly punching each other in the face, drawing blood, and in one instance, resulting in a man being knocked unconscious. Now, I think there are some fights you can’t always escape from, and while Bucky does deserve commendation for how much care he has for the geese, there was arguably a better way to handle this. Whit easily beats Bucky, and Bucky is left looking visibly humiliated. It’s clear from the outset that the few women characters (and there are quite few—I counted only four women who made the IMDb cast list, compared to nineteen men) have no say in what happens to them or those around them. Geese? See our. Why hunt a wolverine, ermine, raccoons, etc. The Calloway family are hunters who want to start a goose sanctuary.

Brad Renfro also died young and was a good actor too, but drugs also killed him soon after Heath Ledger. Take Liddy, for example. Your Name; Your Email (optional) However, the excellence of Keith and Miles makes up for a lot so I'm gonna give this one a B. P.S. Megan: My dislike for Bucky only grows after the dance scene when Bridie confronts him about why he has been ignoring her. Or you need to avoid strobe effects. Megan: At the outset, I was very much on Bucky’s side as he fights to protect the geese, especially when it was revealed that the geese don’t always stop in Swiftwater—all the more reason to protect them and offer them a spot to rest along their migration route. Tall and thin, with fair hair, piercing blue eyes, a pale complexion and a nasal, whiny voice, Chandler specialized in portraying mean, neurotic and dangerous villains.

Through tears, Bridie tells Bucky she’s not interested in anyone but Bucky, but she tells him “I guess I don’t know you as well as I always figured.” Then, after all that, it is Bridie who says “I’m sorry” and runs off. While it is true that people can find themselves suddenly attracted to someone they’ve known as a friend for years, I don’t think it’s ever quite as dramatic a shift as movies would have us believe. I really can’t buy Cam’s insistence on protecting the geese when he and Bucky are just as much hunters as other characters are. Cam uses all his savings to buy a lake, where he intends to establish his sanctuary. Beck and his posse of five find Travis and his dog, set out in pursuit of the other captives, and eventually find the Indians in … Yet the next time Bucky and Bridie are together, he again laughs at her when she insists she is a grown woman and no longer the little kid he thinks her to be. This is where Bucky’s jealously comes in. It was also the last film released sporting a Max Steiner score. While some of this seems complimentary, it’s leaning on stereotypes of Native Americans being strong, untrustworthy (re: fighting dirty), and uncivilized (re: their connection to nature). Months later when the corn is fully grown, E.J. Also, I know I’ve mentioned this before, but thank goodness there are now animal protections in place for films! Later, when Cam and Bucky take their furs into town to sell them, Jim Mellott breaks the news to them: the fur market tanked. Suggest a diversity update. Nigosh, Cam’s Mi’kmaq friend, warns them not to go. For example, Cam is seen as crazy by the townspeople because of his kinship with the Mi’kmaq tribe. (I say this as a woman who wore size 0 clothing as a teen before puberty hit.) Just about any animal with fur? Megan: Bridie, too, is rarely listened to. Want to help us help them? A character grabs someone's arm and forcibly kisses them. While Cam does accept Bucky’s assistance here, his stoicism seems unnecessary, and quite honestly, it makes his injury unconvincing. Megan: I hadn’t heard of Those Calloways until we started this challenge, either. Hibler subsequently served as a producer for Disney for The Hound That Thought He Was a Raccoon (1960), Nikki, Wild Dog of the North (1961), Big Red (1962), Those Calloways (1965), The Ugly Dachshund (1966), Follow Me, Boys! Did Cam really need to prove to his son how tough he was—even when he clearly needed help? The next morning, the sound of the geese finally wakes Cam. Bucky’s character starts off with manly aggression and ends the same way.

Megan: For a film that’s based on a book written by a man (Swiftwater was written by Paul Annixter) and adapted for the screen by yet another man (Louis Pelletier wrote the screenplay), I was surprised this film actually barely scraped by in passing the Bechdel test. How has the way we treat animals changed since the making of this movie? It’s not officially autumn yet, but we’re already feeling the autumn and winter vibes after watching Those Calloways last night! A dog is thrown into a frozen lake. Besides, Bucky is the one to attack Whit first, so I would argue that Bucky has no true provocation. Those Calloways (film) New England trapper Cam Calloway, a poor provider for his wife and son, dreams of the day he can build a sanctuary for migrating geese.Using the money his son earned as a fur trapper, Calloway buys a lake and plants it with corn to attract the migrating birds.

Cam Calloway (Brian Keith), the patriarch, devises an idea to protect the town's geese from hunters. After the townsfolk help the Calloways finish raising the walls of their new home, Bridie confronts Bucky and asks why he’s been ignoring her. While he returns home safely, Bucky must go trapping alone if their family is to survive. Instead, the men seem to watch Bucky and Whit with rapt attention, as if things like this are common occurrence and you just have to watch it play out. The only interesting thing about this cruel movie is it's a great example of the tired, aimless state that Hollywood filmmaking had collapsed into just before the young pioneers of the American New Wave came in at the middle of the 60s and shook it up with fresh, dynamic movies. Megan: So, we knew this was coming from the disclaimer in the Disney Plus description, but it is still a bit jarring nowadays to watch some of these older films and see how they depicted Native Americans. The buying and selling of land is central to the storyline. This is where Bucky’s active aggression comes in. So much of that scene is just Sounder playing around in the snow. It just feels disappointing that she is adverse to Bucky’s aggressive tendencies, but all appears forgiven once Bucky takes it out on another man.

Liddy tells Alf about Cam’s plan to make the geese stop every year by buying the marshland and planting corn near the lake. Dell Fraser comes to the marshland where the Calloways are hard at work building their new home. A few days after Christmas, Bucky goes to see Bridie at her house, but he sees her dancing with Whit through the window and turns back home. Or your actual dog just died, and you’d rather not be reminded by a movie. I guess we’ll see how this goes. He is passive aggressive when he suddenly becomes distant and cold towards Bridie after seeing her dancing with Whit. When Bucky catches Whit trying to shoot the geese, he fights Whit and takes an awful beating in front of the whole town, including Bridie Mellott, who seems smitten with Bucky nonetheless. Cam reveals to Bucky that they’ll have better luck if they trap where no one has trapped before—the Jack Pine Camp. Those Calloways was released on January 28th, 1965.

When Bridie wears the red dress to the Christmas party, Bucky seems to finally “see” Bridie, yet it’s hard to say he really listens to her while he’s gawking at her. Outdated cultural terminology -- "Indians" regularly used for Native Americans. Weasels and a wolverine are tied up and made to fight a dog. How does this reflect the culture of the time in which the film was made, and how does this contrast with how Native Americans are depicted in later films? Those Calloways.

Founded in 1986, Calloway’s Nursery was created by local nursery professionals who saw the need for a new Garden Center experience. The plot thickens as the movie progresses. But his fellow townsfolk instead want to capitalize on the town's hunting potential. Kevin: That whole exchange was frustrating to watch. Kevin: I get that I wasn’t raised to use fighting to solve issues, and I think that’s a good thing. Born into a theatrical family, he made a much-acclaimed Broadway debut a "The Member of the Wedding," when he was 9 years old. We display the minimum age for which content is developmentally appropriate. In the small town of Swiftwater, everyone looks to the skies when the geese migration arrives. All nature’s signs point to a great fur trapping season ahead, and he hopes to use the money from selling furs to buy the marshland. Once again, the onlookers do just that, not stepping in until it is clear Whit has been defeated. They also have a teenage adult son named Bucky, played by Brandon deWilde, “Is it really that hard to distinguish my age?” as well as a pet dog, pet crow, and pet bear. Multiplex (movie theater) - Wikipedia The following year he and Keith did Those Calloways for theatrical release, reuniting deWilde with his Good-bye, My Lady star Walter Brennan. A character is shot with a shotgun. They can’t get the $1,800 Cam had banked on. A dog is thrown into a frozen lake. A character kills a wolverine with an axe. Or you hate puke shots. Full disclosure, we use affiliate links in some of our blog posts. Up until that point in the film, Bucky hadn’t “seen” Bridie. It dragged on too much. While an unconscious Cam gets a blood transfusion from Nigosh that will hopefully save him from death, Alf again appeals to the townspeople to save the geese. The film is jam packed with weak character motivations and relations, and tons of filler, that I was both bored and annoyed by the end. A character is shot with a shotgun and is shown receiving a blood transfusion. At Christmas, Cam and Bucky present Liddy with the ermine cape and she cries tears of joy. But the characters and filmmakers take the notion of compassion, string it up, and set the dogs on it -- forcing us to watch every miserable step of the way. Since this film was written by a man and based on a book written by a man, I have to assume these men were working off some beauty standard ideal that was popular at the time, rather than finding accurate numbers. Sure looks like him! Character actor John Davis Chandler was born on January 28, 1935, in Hinton, West Virginia. Bucky is shown as honorable but fights and is aggressive with a young woman. Characters try various schemes in order to raise money. Unfortunately, in this time period, the better man is the one who beats another in a physical fight. Cam considers it. Our ratings are based on child development best practices. Get full reviews, ratings, and advice delivered weekly to your inbox. When a wealthy sportsman offers to turn the town into a booming resort community in exchange for hunting rights, Cam opposes the plan, which briefly puts him on the outs with everyone else. This man was brutally injured and he doesn’t so much as shout or wince or cry! Professional fighting aside, I don’t understand the fascination with men fighting each other as a means to solve problems, or why it’s something to be cheered on. First of all, Bridie is the one who opens the conversation by asking Bucky what she did wrong. To show that Bucky learned something, he could have stood up to Whit with words. Brandon De Wilde, Actor: Shane. Even as someone who’s all for environmental protections, I find it hard to get on board with the Calloways’ mission to protect the geese when we don’t really understand why they’re so adamant about protecting the geese in the first place. The fighting scenes between Bucky and Whit are also much longer than they need to be (although I’m also not a fan of many fight scenes from older movies because they look more fake than anything). Yet by the end, Bridie seems to have forgiven Bucky. Bucky takes the family dog with him to trap in the Jack Pine, but a wolverine raids his first set of traps, so Bucky hunts the wolverine, fights it, and kills it, taking its pelt home as a trophy. Numerous prolonged fist fights involving punches to the face, bloody wounds, and in one instance, someone being knocked unconscious. His pent up frustration causes him to explode with anger. I did, however, catch a few of the opening clips of this film while my parents watched it (it was one of their early picks when we first got Disney Plus). Throw in mismanagement of money, and you have a recipe for disaster. How very masculine of him!” In my personal experience, broken bones hurt like hell, and the only reason I could see to attempt to muffle any reflexive cry of pain would be if you were in imminent danger from something far worse than a broken bone and needed to keep quiet so as not to reveal your position. Alf likes the idea of protecting the geese and mentions they might be able to get a federal grant to protect the land, but Alf is terrible at keeping secrets, as evidenced by him nearly giving away Bucky’s idea to make Liddy an ermine cape for a Christmas present. Common Sense is the nation's leading nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of all kids and families by providing the trustworthy information, education, and independent voice they need to thrive in the 21st century. Bucky is again the instigator of this second brawl. In other words, only once she’s “beautiful” does he stop seeing her as the “ugly duckling.” The trope appears in several movies, and, honestly, it usually leaves me feeling very much like Odette when she asks Derek what, besides her beauty, Derek likes about her, and he rather unfortunately replies “What else is there?” (facepalm). Seriously, this guy sounds like my ex-roommate. Kevin: Bucky’s arc continues much in the same way. This marks the 41st film in our Disnerd Movie Challenge! Cam discovers them and tells the men the geese aren’t coming down this year, and he’ll pay back the $200 Fletcher gave him. In either case, Bucky would win by being the better man. Unfortunately, there still isn’t any help from the Internet on that front. A character grabs someone's arm and forcibly kisses them. His only victory is that he won a fight (and, quite undeservedly, the girl, too), but I would very much say he did not come out a better man at all. Alf Simes, a friend of the Calloways, tells them of Dell Fraser’s plan to renovate the town. In spite of his loathing of Whit, Bucky makes no attempt to rationalize why Whit was there, either by way of sorting it out himself or, y’know, just talking to Bridie and asking her what was going on. Anyway, Bucky and Whit fight, and it seems like everyone in town is there to watch (or at least, all the men). The Disney family film Those Calloways had its world premier at the Westgate, the only film to have been so honored at that theater. The star rating reflects overall quality. Hunting is a key theme: characters hunt with rifles and shotguns, and real-life footage of geese being shot dead is shown, as well as a wolverine being killed. These fights are seen by the townsfolk as necessary to resolve conflict. And for its hundreds of old Hollywood movies featuring the untamed Northland and those fierce sled dogs, fiercer wolves and indomitable Mounties. Even though she did absolutely nothing, she’s the one who’s ready to take the blame for Bucky’s actions. Fletcher, to help pay for the land. Mixed messages surround the idea of an animal trapper wanting to start a sanctuary for migrating geese. In women’s wear sizes, that translates to a size 4 bust, even smaller than a size 0 waist (size 0 waist in women’s begins around 25 inches), and a smaller than size 0 hip (size 0 hip in women’s begins around 35 inches). Those Calloways refers to the Calloway family, a lot that the other residents of the New England town Swiftwater consider oddballs. The only reason we’re given is that the Mi’kmaq see the wild geese as their totem animal, and Cam, raised by the Mi’kmaq, has a kinship with them. Though, oddly, Bucky still seems to not believe her. While this incident seems to work out in Bucky’s favor since he eventually wins over Bridie, it doesn’t really mean much in the end. While exploring the Jack Pine, Cam falls and breaks his leg. Kevin: This is a common trope in media and I’m not sure why it’s still a thing. The Miꞌkmaq say it’s a land of bad spirits, but Cam doesn’t believe it. It already has an outdated cultural depictions warning, so I imagine we might have some issues with this one. Bucky Calloway is this movie’s stereotypical gruff teenager on the verge of manhood, who wants to prove how much of a man he really is. Old Yeller belonged to a boy named Arliss and his brother Travis. Cam Calloway loses the family home after keeping a land purchase secret from his wife. Wonder if this influenced Lonnie Elder when he wrote his better film about a struggling farm family seven years later? It doesn’t look familiar either. The romance was also unneeded, especially since Bucky and Bridie have absolutely no chemistry. Weasels and a wolverine are tied up and made to fight a dog. How did those scenes make you feel? Meanwhile, Cam has a plan to purchase a plot of nearby marshland to create a geese sanctuary where the geese can safely stop every year. So he instead treats Bridie with cold indifference until she is able to be alone with him and finally ask what she did wrong. How might communication have been a better way of doing so? Men, after all, are not “supposed to” show weakness (if you buy into society’s ideas of what makes a “real” man, that is). Kevin: This film was disappointing. This is one "classic" Disney tale that's best filed under "better left forgotten.". The movie features violence toward people and animals. Hunting is a key theme: characters hunt with rifles and shotguns, and real-life footage of geese being shot dead is shown, as well as a wolverine being killed. The message is that a man can only be interested in a woman if she looks beautiful, and so they are left to be shallow. Rumor has it that Brandon was high on pot when his accident occurred. It’s like Disney and filmmakers believe the only way to appeal to teenagers is to have romance, even if it really does nothing to serve the story being told. Brandon's career started in his youth with A MEMBER OF THE WEDDING. While Cam and Bucky had the uneasy sensation that they were being watched, there was no such imminent danger that Cam needed to remain quiet. As Bridie tries to tell him that a woman like his Ma wants to settle down someplace, Bucky tells her “How would you know what a woman wants?” It seems unnecessary that Bridie should have to explain to Bucky that she is, in fact, a woman, yet she does. Bridie’s insistence that Whit and Bucky stop fighting goes unheeded, even when she asks her father to stop the fight (he only intervenes after it’s clear the fight is over and Whit just has to get one more hit in, not so much because Bridie asks him to). Tell us in the comments below! I’m hoping this one is the latter! A character calls white people "respectable folk" in comparison to Native Americans, who are referred to throughout as "Indians.". It’s not him being upset that’s the problem, but that he doesn’t deal with it in a healthy way. (I think we’re meant to take this as Bucky still thinking of Bridie as a girl, not a woman, but it still seems ridiculous since it sounds like he’s implying Bridie isn’t female.) In this particular instance, it makes me dislike Bucky for his superficial attraction. A Native American character is played by a white actor. The same goes for his son, Bucky. Or, if Bucky tried to reason with Whit, but Whit decided to hit him, then Bucky would be forced to defend himself. Liddy tells Cam they’ll build a new house on the marshland by the lake. I had previously purchased a home where the buying process was a nightmare from start to finish. What’s more, as Kevin pointed out after we watched the film, the actor who plays Nigosh, Frank de Kova, is described as “Italian-American” according to Wikipedia. However, that seems like such a trivial thing to pay attention to what with everything else that’s going on. Absolutely not. He assaults the only friend he has, and his love interest, and he can’t even say “sorry”?! These fights are seen by the townsfolk as necessary to resolve conflict. There aren't any reviews yet. Megan: When Bridie pulls out a catalog image of a woman in an elegant dress and shows it to Bucky, asking him what he’d think of her in a dress like that, Bucky laughs at her, so she rattles off her measurements: 34, 22, 34. Sure, Cam and Bucky do somewhat listen to Liddy since they do remember she’s been wanting an ermine cape, and they manage to surprise her with one for Christmas. A character kills a wolverine with an axe. An additional trope in storytelling is that men and women cannot possibly just be friends with each other, and instead must eventually become romantically involved (side note here: Megan and I were friends for almost 7 years before we started dating, but thankfully we’re not characters in a story). One of the ways this comes out is in Bucky’s attempt to fight Whit Turner, the town bully, for having shot down a goose flying overhead and scaring the entire flock. Cam comes home to the excitement of his son, Bucky, and pets, but also to the somberness of his wife, Liddy, whom he hasn't seen in a while. Bucky, on the other hand, does no such thing, nor do I remember him apologizing later on. The Calloways' hunting dog is named Sounder. Not only do we see geese being shot and killed in this film, but we see all sorts of other animal actors getting into dangerous or unnatural situations that certainly wouldn’t be allowed by today’s standards. Why is communication such a good character strength to have? With Brian Keith, Vera Miles, Brandon De Wilde, Walter Brennan. Cam also refuses to tell Liddy why he doesn’t want Bucky trapping in the Jack Pine alone, and he seems to ignore Liddy’s constant complaints about the “zoo” of animals on their property. At a town meeting to discuss the geese and the town’s future, Alf addresses the town and tries to sway them to sell their land to the government to create a geese sanctuary, while Dell tries to convince them to develop the land for hunting tourism. A chicken is violently stomped to death just out of view. ) Liddy gets no say other than reprimanding him.

But his fellow townsfolk instead want to capitalize on the town's hunting potential. Therefore, while Buck, the dog, does not die in ‘The Call of the Wild’, he completely alters his life, from a pet dog to the leader of a wolf pack. Bucky uses his fists to resolve some of his conflicts. trapper wanting to start a sanctuary for migrating geese. Characters drink socially. That is, he didn’t see her as a romantic interest, despite Bridie’s obvious infatuation with him. He angrily demands she give him a dance lesson like she did Whit Turner, and when Bridie tries to leave the situation, Bucky grabs her and forcefully kisses her. He was the first child actor to win the Donaldson Award, and went on to repeat his role in the film … Running at a tedious pace, it's stuffy attempts at comedy would have felt dated even when Those Calloways was first released in 1965. Bucky Calloway (Brandon De Wilde) is physically aggressive toward a young woman before forcibly kissing her. Much as Prince Derek in The Swan Princess sings of how Odette “started out as such an ugly duckling, then somehow suddenly became a swan,” Bucky only sees Bridie as a romantic interest once she’s wearing a red dress. It seems to me that if Cam had treated Liddy as an equal partner in their marriage a lot of their problems could have been avoided in the first place. Story of Cam Calloway and his family, who live in a densely wooded area in New England.
