It no longer surprises me that even the warmest of family films finds it's detractors, just take a look at some of the negative comments for "The Wizard of Oz". This film has similar qualities to those found in "Miracle on 34th Street", in as much as the little girl Molly (Molly McGowan) understands that you have to believe in something to make it come true. You'll have to work out the talking horse business for yourself but it's an otherwise fine story that families with young kids can take delight in.I did have a little trouble with one scene though. When Molly took up the Triple M iron and threatened to brand herself, that was a bit dicey for the film makers to record. Not only for the fact that it was a scary scene for youngsters but actress Molly herself was already twelve years old, so there's some question there about the decency of the situation. I wouldn't even bring it up if it hadn't affected me so strongly.I did think that scene with Doc Stewart (Paul Keast) was pretty clever. For all those doubting Thomases out there, the doctor couldn't pull the trigger on that bet with Molly and high tailed it out of there real quick. That's what the story managed to do throughout; every time Molly's Dad or sister tried to get a concession from Molly that maybe, just maybe Snowfire didn't really talk to her, she came right back with a confident rebuttal that made you think twice. For me, that was the magic of the story.The film looks like it must have been a family affair in it's own right. The director and producer were McGowan Brothers, and the sisters in the story, Molly and Melodie, were the real life daughters of Dorrell McGowan. Which begs the question whether top billed Don Megowan was selected for his name or because he actually auditioned for the part; he was no relation to the others and his name spells differently. Also, for modern day viewers who weren't around in the Fifties when this came out, there's some unintended humor relative to the name of the bad guy brothers who kept making trouble throughout the story - they were the Stoners.

I am proud to add myself to this list of devoted Snowfire fans. I will never give up hope. The movie means too much to me to give up. I don't understand that website where people wrote about how it was available to download to your computer last November, 2007 with a deadline of December 2. What is that all about? Surely whoever downloaded it could make all of us copies for a nice price??? Here's the words of the song title that I can remember: (please add to it if you can)"Snowfire. Snowfire. Snowfire was white as the falling snow. Fire was his spirit, Man was his foe. Snowfire. Snowfire" Somebody. Somebody. Somebody must be able to help us!!!

My girlfriend has done nothing but talk about this movie ever since I've met her. It is her all time favorite movie. I must admit, this is one movie that I've never seen before, and by reading all of the comments It looks like I should have. I would love to be able to find and buy this movie for a Christmas present for my friend, as it would rock her world and make her very happy to boot. I hope someday that I'll be able to make her day And by all accounts of my friend and this site, I'd love to add this movie to my collection too! It sounds very interesting and something that I'd let my two great nieces watch without having to worry about the content of the movie.

Please contact me if anyone has any form of this movie! It's my very favorite movie from childhood, and I was deeply touched when I first viewed it in all it's magestic glory. Granted, the "branding scene" seems a bit harsh now, but during the innocence of that time, it was just part of the movie, for symbolism of what the horse meant to the girl...it had really no other weird conotations. Anyway, I will keep looking, (maybe on E-Bay?) and please let's keep each other posted on possibilities for getting this movie for viewing! Thanks,[email protected]
