One of Ritt's best films. The composition of landscape with black people always crossing it with effort (running or walking limp as รผal Winfield and dog Sounder) and the wise protagonism of Sounder as the pet an companios the absorvs the sadness of tha family condition and even hope.

William H. Armstrong's poetic novel comes alive in this acclaimed screen adaptation. During the Depression, a black sharecropper family struggles to make a subsistence living for themselves. Adversity turns into tragedy when the father is incarcerated for stealing food for his family. Now David, the eldest son, must fill his father's shoes.
