I saw this movie when I was 18 years old, that was some time back, and I remember bits and pieces of this movie. The horse named "Jubilee" and he turned outlaw after the train wreck. Stevens spent a long time trying to find his stallion and would find information from people who caught glimpses of the horse from time to time. In one scene the horse tried to kill his owner after running wild and before being captured by Rory Calhoun and used as a bucking horse in rodeos before finally being united with his owner played by Mark Stevens. I am hoping someone can tell me how to get a copy of that movie as I have exhausted all of my means. I would recommend this movie for anyone who loves horses and the scenery is outstanding.
... View MoreI saw this movie in my youth and was mesmorized by the music and country scenery. It also tweaked my interest in the horse featured, an American Saddlebred five-gaited show horse. This interest eventually got me into raising and showing this breed. I would love to get a DVD or Video of this movie to show my grand children. As I recall there was also a scene of the horse fighting an elk. I was always curious as to how those animals were trained to interact.

This could be man finds horse, man loses horse, man finds horse and the girl. Mark Stevens as Jeff Keane is typical of the handsome 'older' leading men of the forties and fifties, who are always attracting younger, in this case 20ish Coleen Gray, to their cause. Case in point: Jeff's expensive saddle-bred stallion, Jubilee, has escape his fire-burning train in the middle of gorgeous Colorado and needs retrieving. Horses are not supposed to be the most intelligent of animals but Jubilee is an exception and becomes adept at living in the wild. Coleen just happens to own 26,000 acres on which Jubilee has staked a claim and agrees to accompany Mark on a quest to 'rescue' Jubilee, after Mark's unsuccessful bid the first time netted him one lost mare - to Jubilee of course. A very young Rory Calhoun as her (not-so-straight shooting) foreman, Chick Palmer keeps his rifle handy as well as his fists. Of course, all's well in the end when Mark faces down the 'killer' Jubilee and smooth talks him into returning to civilization. Look for Iron Eyes Cody and old cowboy star, Tom London in bit roles. Filmed in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado and Lake Arrowhead, California. On a scale of ten - a dated 5.5
