As a fan of the late June Allyson, my heroine since I was a little boy of 5 (over 56 years ago), I not only got a chance to see June for the 4th time, but I also got a chance to see Mickey and Jan Rooney. Both Mickey and Jan are delightful, and Mickey is a screen veteran I remember from "National Velvet" (with Elizabeth Taylor) and his splendid performances with the legendary Judy Garland.
This is a truly wonderful horse opera. Like Mickey Rooney, I love horses. There is good direction by David Rotan, and good writing by Lovinder Gill. The film is not only for children, but is also intended for the whole family. It is not a film that you would be ashamed of, in any way--and, by all means, bring along someone you love. And, the film has a good old-fashioned happy ending.
I cannot give enough praise for Mickey Rooney (who looks like my dad), still going after all these years. He is a multi-talented individual--and, like the late Judy Garland, has always encouraged newcomers in the show business industry. He, in fact, choreographed a number ('Treat Me Rough') for June Allyson, when she was getting started in movies. The late June Allyson had glowing things to say about Mickey Rooney and the late Judy Garland. Mickey and Jan make a wonderful, married couple--and Jan is a real trouper, as well.
I rank this film an 8 out of 10, and it is highly recommended.
