Just saw it for the first time, and bought the DVD on eBay. Very fine movie of a man, played excellently by Fess Parker, who tames a wild stallion, Smoky, and how they bond. The secondary plot concerns the growing love affair between Fess and the pretty Diana Hyland, who sort of reminds me of Inger Stevens. Shades of Fury and many scenes are reminiscent of Black Beauty. But it is the horse who is the star in this movie. The horse was not played by Fury, for those of you who are thinking that, as I, myself did. I totally recommend this movie. Great family fare and a lovely, touching story. A must see and a must see for every member of the family.

I've seen this movie when I was young and had forgotten all about it. Great combination of the old west meeting transition of the 1940's. The location on which it was filmed was beautiful, just sorry I missed that part of the credits. Suggestion to IMDb would be to add that part into the information, just a suggestion.I was able to catch it on TV this morning and now I want to buy it on DVD. There was a phrase on this movie thats a classic. They are in a restaurant and the waitress comes back and asks, "Where did he go?" the man replies, " He went to go see a man about a horse". Which he really did do, made me laugh so much I had forgotten thats where I picked up on that phrase. Another suggestion to IMDb, would be to not limit this comment to a minimum of 10 lines. That makes it difficult to build a comment to a movie if you are not a real good writer.

This movie is an Ok movie, but get real here, it was supposed to take place during WWII but the women are dressed like it was the sixties, Fess Parker is good and the scenery is to die for, and the horse is wonderful, but the rest is not believable.

would like to know if this movie is avaliable on video. i watched it as a child and would love to let my children watch it.i have searched all of our video stores and nobody knows anything about it.i was begining to think it was only a dream from an over active imagination.so please if its avaliable on video let me know.
