A Boy and His Dog (1975 - R)

In the future, following a global nuclear war, this rather dark-humored, male-oriented film spins the story of a young man and a telepathic dog with a talented nose, who rely on each other for survival in a harsh environment; hunting for food wherever they can get it, and always looking for a female for Albert to have some sexual fun with. Difficult choices face their friendship when Albert finally finds a female on his own, and they have a lot of fun. However it turns into a trap, which isn't fun at all, as Albert finds himself abused for a quality which comes from his biological functions. 

A BOY AND HIS DOG features action, comedy, and a little romance. A young Don Johnson delivers a strong performance. Tim McIntire has fun as the voice of a telepathic dog. Director of Photography, John Arthur Morrill, delivers potent screen images of the devastated landscape.

The cast includes: Don Johnson, Suzanne Benton, Jason Robards Jr., Alvy Moore, and Charles McGraw.

Directed by L.Q. Jones.
