A Boy And His Dog

Synopsis: Based on the novella by Harlan Ellison, A Boy and His Dog is set in a post-apocalyptic future, where canned goods are used as currency and where entertainment often consists of old porn reels. Vic (Don Johnson) is a violent, illiterate scavenger, principally interested in getting laid. He communicates telepathically with his deceptively cute-looking dog Blood (voice by Tim McIntire); Vic finds food for Blood, while Blood sniffs out girls for Vic. One of these girls is the sexy Quilla June (Susanne Benton), who unbeknownst to Vic is a spy for an underground society, headed by a Mr. Craddock (Jason Robards, Jr.). This subterranean civilization needs a human "sperm bank" to stay alive, and the oversexed Vic fills the bill. Produced by character actor Alvy Moore (Mr. Kimball of TV's Green Acres) and written and directed by another veteran actor, L.Q. Jones, A Boy and His Dog has attained cult status since its limited 1975 theatrical release, thanks in part to its wholehearted endorsement by Ellison. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
