Greyfriars Bobby

Based On the book by Eleanor Stackhouse Atkinson

Greyfriars Bobby is a 1961 drama film starring Donald Crisp and Laurence Naismith, with a screenplay by Robert Westerby based upon the 1912 children's book Greyfriars Bobby by Eleanor Atkinson which was based, in turn, upon the 19th century Edinburgh story involving a Skye Terrier that came to be known as Greyfriars Bobby, visiting his owner's grave for 14 years. The story revolves about two Scottish men who compete for the affection of Bobby. It was the second film based upon Atkinson's novel, the first being Challenge to Lassie in which Crisp also starred. The film was directed by Don Chaffey and shot at Shepperton Studios and on location in Scotland.
