Gary Gray

When her gold prospector owner is knocked off by his greedy partner, loyal Rough Collie Lassie takes it upon herself to bring the killer to justice.

William Wellman directed this domestic drama starring James Whitmore and Nancy Davis (who would later become First Lady Nancy Reagan). Blue-collar family man Joe Smith, his pregnant wife, Mary, and their son, Johnny, are shaken out of their complacency--as are their relatives, their neighbors, and the rest of the world, when the voice of God begins delivering messages on the radio. For six consecutive evenings, the voice conveys the age-old message "love thy neighbor." With this occurrence come several changes of attitude, some minor, others profound.
