[edit] Synopsis
The film tells the story of the original Rin Tin Tin, the legendary German Shepherd, found shortly before the end of World War I by American serviceman Lee Duncan as a shell-shocked puppy in a bombed-out dog kennel in Lorraine, France. The dog was taken to America and became the hero of several films made in the 1920s and 1930s.[1]
[edit] Law suit
In October 2008 Daphne Hereford, an American woman breeding progeny of the original Rin Tin Tin, asked a federal court in Houston, Texas, United States to protect her rights to the Rin Tin Tin name.[2] The judge ruled in favor of the filmmakers, declaring the use of the name in the film to be fair use.[3]
