Simply Beautiful
“The Yearling” is one of those movies I had stayed away from because of my misguided perceptions about what it was going to be like (maudlin, sentimental, “family friendly” in all the worst ways). How wonderful to have those perceptions proven wrong and to discover such a beautiful, moving film.Most people know the plot of this movie. It takes a tough, matter of fact attitude about death and the natural world and doesn’t offer a lot of cornball platitudes to soften the blow the way you might expect a movie from the 1940s to do. I wonder if this is largely because it came out right after the end of WWII, when films could begin allowing themselves to be honest and jaded rather than peppy morale boosters. At the same time, it’s not a depressing movie; far from it. It captures perfectly one of those experiences — of which there are many — that mark the transition from childhood to adulthood. Much is to be gained from being able to experience the world as an adult, but much is lost too.
One of the things I liked best about “The Yearling” was its visual style. Art directors Cedric Gibbons and Paul Groesse along with cinematographers Charles Rosher, Leonard Smith, and Arthur Arling use Technicolor to create an almost expressionistic version of the Florida swamps and an isolated farmstead. Parts of the film almost look like they’re happening in a dream. The effect highlights the beauty and wonder of the natural world, but it also serves the purpose of making the men who populate it seem even smaller and humbler in comparison to all the grandeur.
Gregory Peck and especially Jane Wyman give lovely performances as parents, and Claude Jarman, Jr. won a special juvenile Oscar as the young boy who adopts an ill-advised pet. The film deservedly won the Oscars for Art Direction and Cinematography in the color categories, and brought nominations to Peck and Wyman in the Actor and Actress categories, respectively, as well as to Harold Kress for his editing, Clarence Brown for his directing, and MGM for Best Picture of the year.
