Because Mom's lung cancer keeps her out of breath at times, we've spent a great deal of time holding down the couch. Thus, I've been introduced to many movies and television shows which I never saw before, as well as remarking on old favorites. Saturday on TCM (Turner Classic Movies), we watched "Ring of Bright Water" from 1969. The story is based on a novel by Gavin Maxwell and relates the tale of a London office worker who buys an otter from a pet store. He then moves to the shores of Scotland to provide a more appropriate home for his playful/troublesome companion. It stars the same couple from "Born Free" -- Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna -- so you know the wildlife photography is excellent. The otter dooks, and it has many other mannerisms which ferrets exhibit. This movie doesn't provide edge-of-your-seat action, but you get a love interest, a ferret-like creature, and Scotland. Just don't blame me for the sad ending.
