70 Movies We Saw in the 70s Ep#3: BENJI (1974)
Fluff your fur and throw your paws in the air as we revisit the beloved canine classic, BENJI. Writer-director Joe Camp’s triumphant underdog story (pun absolutely intended) introduced the world to the supremely talented four-legged scrapper of the title, his elegant lady-pooch Tiffany, and the power of a perfectly cast, expertly executed kiddie flick to continue to captivate, beguile, and inspire all these decades later. In the very best sense, BENJI is our “Dog of the Week”—forever! (Mike’s dog Zelda says hi during the show, too.)
