Life abounds in the 1870s Florida scrubland that's home to young Jody Baxter. There are bears to hunt, cash crops to plant, evenings of storytelling with Pa and Ma. And there are timeless lessons of love and letting go that Jody learns from Flag, the orphaned pet fawn that follows him around with devotion.

From Marjorie Kinnan Rawling's Pulitzer Prize winning novel and sensitively directed by Clarence Brown (National Velvet), The Yearling is superb family entertainment that know well what a shiny harmonica means to a lonely boy or what a six day rain means to hard luck farmers. Gregory Peck, Jane Wyman, and Claude Jarman Jr. play the Baxters in a resplendent film nominated for seven Academy Awards and the winner of two, plus a Special Award for the year's Outstanding Child Actor to young Jarman.

WARNING: DVD releases from Warner Brothers Home Video have recently been known to contain an additional embedded code known as Regional Code Enhancement (RCE). In some cases this code may allow the disc to detect if a DVD Player is region specific, or if it has been manufactured or altered in the market to be “region-free” or “multi-region”. If the player is “region-free” or “multi-region” the RCE may not allow the disc to play the program material. It will instead display a message advising that the machine is not authorized to play the disc. The actual wording will be as follows:

THIS DISC IS INTENDED FOR PLAY ON NON-MODIFIED REGION 1 PLAYERS.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS REGION 1 DISC.
TO ASSURE PLAYBACK YOU SHOULD PURCHASE OR RENT A DISC DESIGNED FOR YOUR REGION.

Due to the implementation of this system, we are unable to determine whether a disc is RCE encoded prior to its release, and the studios are not forthcoming with this information. Therefore this warning only suggests that the title concerned may be RCE encoded, based on recent releases from Warner Brothers Home Video. Please note however that we are only able to accept returns on genuinely faulty discs, and not those ordered despite this warning. Non-faulty discs will be returned, incurring postage & packing charges. If in doubt, do NOT order this title!

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by this situation which is beyond our control.
