Product Description

Amazon.com

This classic family film made a star of 12-year-old Elizabeth Taylor in the title role as spunky Velvet Brown, a girl who's determined to enter her horse, Pie, in the Grand National Steeplechase. Critic Pauline Kael called it "One of the most likeable movies of all time." Mickey Rooney costars as a young man who helps Velvet train Pie for the big race. At the last minute, Velvet herself has to ride Pie in the tournament and cuts her hair to pass for a jockey. Anne Revere won an Oscar as Velvet's mother, as did editor Robert J. Kern, who cut together a terrifically exciting horse race. Donald Crisp and Angela Lansbury are also featured as members of the Brown family. --Jim Emerson

5 Stars
I've SEEN this movie, before, of course, but . . .
The 'little' Elizabeth Taylor was always a pretty-face! Her almost purple-eyes were on full-display in this REMASTERED Blu-ray! There are aspect of the new video-technology that made some of the matte-paintings and "painted background audiences" look other-worldly, in a bad way. What I'm trying to say is that the crowds of people just stand there with a few sparkling areas to simulate movement [I guess]. The people atop the buildings keep the motionless flags company. I'm supposing all of the horses falling, and jockeys stumbling around to avoid galloping horses, wouldn't be allowed today. No Computer-Generated Special-Effects back in the days before THIS 72-year-old took his first breath. Well, anyway, this movie will take your breath away! SEE it any way YOU can afford it, but, the Blu-Ray is phenomenal.

This is a story of believing in yourself, in a fun package. The 12-year-old kid, Velvet, reminds me of the modern dog trainer, Cesar Millan. I saw him on video explaining his story, and he was a little boy in Mexico who decided he'd go to LA, where they trained Lassie, so he could become a famous dog trainer. At one point, he said he was washing cars in California, barely able to speak any English, and telling people he was going to be famous on TV. He was laughing and said he was naive, but it helped him because he didn't recognize obstacles and he just kept going. He'd probably love this movie, because the character in the film is so similar to him: a determined kid with a dream. There's wisdom in this story; it shows people taking the pitfalls in life with a sense of humor, and treating others with kindness. I didn't like the part where they showed the race, but the horses who tripped on the jumps did get up and trot away, thankfully. This movie left me in a great mood, and after renting it, I decided to buy it. A perk of the film is that Elizabeth Taylor knew the horse and suggested him to the studio, and the actress really did love that horse and owned him for the rest of his life. So the affection in this movie is authentic, and she did most of the riding. This is a movie filled with love, humor, and all that's good about people. Also shows spectacular footage of a gorgeous horse, along with great acting by everyone. Wish I'd seen this fantastic movie sooner!!!

If you enjoy horses and a bit of comedy, this is a great family movie to see. A young (12) Elizabeth Taylor was cast properly for this film and so was the rest of the cast. I couldn't help but laugh out load a few times. Bluray video quality is pretty good throughout. So much so, you'll really notice the pre-green screen effect on a couple of shots. The audio was just fine. Basically what you would expect from a 40's film. No extras besides the trailer.

Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2023

A lady friend, I thought, stated that this was hers and her friend's favorite film. So, I rented it, watched it, had heard all about it in the previous years,, and was mildly entertained.

The truth is is that this is for the female horse enthusiast, of which there are many. It's not a bad film, but I found it somewhat hard to stick with as it's just not really "my thing", so to speak. Horses are interesting, pretty girls having good times with good looking boys give you a sense that all is right with the world, but I think you really need to have a real passion for not just animals but specifically horses to really get into this film.

Seeing the young Elizabeth Taylor and Mickey Rooney play their parts was kind of fun and interesting. I mean you heard all about them growing up, but rarely did you see the movies they were in, just how they were in said movies with a few clips of said films. So, from that standpoint it was interesting to finally see this film after hearing about it for years and years. But, in the end I was hoping for a better ending for Liz Taylor's character. Oh well.

Not a bad film, but from a time when films were far more artificial than they are now, although it was refreshing to see a movie that had story as a focus and not some social psychology nor psychiatric strategy trying to pull one over the audience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelent Film On Blu-ray!
Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2021

This is a classic and Warner Bros. has restored it to it's original beauty. The picture quality is crystal clear and pristine. The colors are bright and the sound is excelent and clear. I have seen this movie in the past and never have I seen it look as wonderful as it does on blu-ray. Obviously a lot of love and care whent into the restoration of this wonderful classic. With this movie looking this good on blu-ray there is no need to put out a 4K blu-ray of this movie ever. Warner's line of Archive Collection titles never fail to impress me. Every time I watch one of these catalog titles they look and sound better than when they were in theaters. This film is no exception. If you love this film as much as I do, it will not dissapoint you. This is the best the film has ever looked since it first came to theaters a long time ago. This is what blu-ray is meant for, showing off how good a film can look if restored properly. And it does!

Jag såg den här filmen på bio 1951 eller -52 när jag var 9-10 år och blev helt förtjust. Skaffade sedan boken och har längtat efter att se filmen igen. Det var trevligt, även om det inte är en höjdarfilm ur kvalitetssynpunkt. Men den motsvarade mina minnesbilder och jag blev inte besviken trots att så många år förflutit.

Leggendo le specifiche esposte temevo che in dvd non fosse compatibile con i lettori dvd europei. Ho acquistato e provato; confermo che funziona correttamente. Il film è una memoria storica di Hollywood anni '50. La qualità delle immagini e soprattutto la sceneggiatura risentono del peso del tempo.

Gostei de apreciar o cavalo e o seu envolvimento com a jovem intérprete. Os cenários acompanham o enredo com poesia e penso que tudo se desenrola com esplendoroso envolvimento dos personagens. Foi a minha mãe que me lembrou este clássico que agora reconheço ser uma boa aquisição que recomendo a quem adora a actriz principal.
