PLOT SYNOPSIS<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The Yearling<\/em><\/strong> focuses on the family of Civil War veteran Penny Baxter (GREGORY PECK), who lives and works on a farm in Florida with his wife, Orry (JANE WYMAN), and their son, Jody (CLAUDE JARMAN JR.). The only surviving child of the family, Jody longs for companionship and unexpectedly finds it in the form of an orphaned fawn. While Penny is supportive of his son’s four-legged friend, Orry is not, leading to heartbreaking conflict.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

The Yearling<\/em><\/strong> comes to Blu-ray through Warner\u2019s Archive Collection line, presented in the original 1.37 full frame aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer, which apparently was newly created. As with the majority of the Archive Collection releases, this one too looks great, detail was sharp and nicely defined with bright, vibrant colors in keeping with the 1940s time period, leaning much more toward natural earth tones.<\/p>\n

The disc comes with a DTS-HD Master Audio Mono track which is more than serviceable since this is almost strictly dialogue driven with some scattered depth (like gunshots) here and there. Nothing amazing but still clean, free of any major instances of pops or hisses.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
