Where Pigeons Go to Die



TV drama, director Michael Landon
-Year: 1990
-Year in film: 1950s
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: Hugh ~10, man
-Available on DVD: VHS only
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence:  medium-
-Rating:  6/10 ?
-Rating: ******
-Comment: 9 or 10 yo Robert Hy Gorman in hickory striped bibs and his granddad in bibs. Scenes at 15 minutes. Completely on YouTube.

Not bad, novel by R. Wright Campbell. Nominated for 2 Emmy Awards. Also starring Michael Landon as grown-up Hugh.

Maybe ther are better movies. And I don't like hickory striped bibs. I think rather few scenes only. But maybe the novel is of interest.

Rating 5-6. DVDs seem to be bootlegs. VHS OOP. A Hallmark movie? But obviously not produced by them.

Update: I now have completely rechecked the movie (at high speed). He maybe often wore bibs, but mainly under a jacket. Maybe also another boy (closed jacket).
