White Dog

Writer/director Samuel Fuller's rabid thriller tells a provocative yarn about actress Julie Sawyer (Kristy McNichol), who adopts a stray German shepherd she hit with her car. Indebted to the dog after it saves her from a would-be rapist, Sawyer discovers that the animal was taught to attack black people on sight, resulting in her hiring a trainer (Paul Winfield) to change it's racist conditioning. Jameson Parker, Burl Ives co-star. 90 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English. Region Free
