Thunder in the Valley is a 1947 American Technicolor drama film directed by Louis King and starring Lon McCallister, Peggy Ann Garner and Edmund Gwenn.[1] It is based on the 1898 novel Owd Bob by Alfred Ollivant, which has previously been adapted into a 1938 film of the same title. The film was produced and distributed by 20th Century Fox and cost a reported $1.9 million.[2] It was released in Britain under the alternative title Bob, Son of Battle.
A crockerty old sheepherder, Adam MacAdam, loves his prize collie dog, but little else, not even his son David. But David, with the help of a neighbor's daughter, Maggie Moore, raises his own prize dog and beats out his father in a contest.
Parts of the film were shot in Duck Creek, Strawberry Valley, Strawberry Point, Kanab Canyon, Navajo Lake, and Blue Springs in Utah.[3]
