A young actress finds a stray white dog and decides to take it home. The dog saves the girl's life when a burglar attempts to rape her but continues to show a violent behavior on different occasions. In an attempt to train the dog, the girl finds out that this is a "white dog", trained to attack and kill black people...
Sam Fuller takes a seemingly exploitation story and turns it dead serious. At first glance, this film is another 80's thriller with no special acting or directing or anything. And that is mostly true about that film except for it's intelligent plot and story. As the story escalates the more we dive into an upsetting live of thought that easily could bother our times too ; is racism taught or born with, and if it's taught can we really un-teach it?
Kristy McNichol plays the young and innocent Julie who loves her racist dog too much to put him to sleep so Paul Winfield gets the difficult task of training to dog back to being normal and he almost succeeds in it. Legendary Burl Ives also appears as the master trainer who knew too well was going to happen.
Must watch this : with your pretentious politically aware and awakened friends. Watch this film and then let it stir conversations over it's hot topic. Amuse yourself on how people tend to not know what they are talking about watch the conversation go round and round without anyone saying anything meaningful.
