The Belstone Fox

The Belstone Fox is a 1973 British childrens film directed by James Hill, and based on David Rooks 1970 novel.

Time Out called the film a dismayingly literal and unimaginative version of David Rooks novel, the Radio Times gave it two out of five stars, calling it a workmanlike adaptation, adding, Porter and Rachel Roberts acquit themselves adequately but the film ultimately impresses more for its wildlife photography than for its dramatic interest, whereas TV Guide gave the film three out of four stars, writing, Porter is solid as the hunter who brings the baby fox to the hound for nurturing. Hats off to the trainers and technical experts who let the animals steal the show. and Britmovie described it as a touching tale, adding, Eric Porter as Asher and Rachel Roberts as his wife are firstrate.
