I am glad to see that there are other people out there looking for this wonderful movie. I also have been looking for it for 45 years. I saw it advertised as showing on tv last year and was so excited, only to tune it in and find it wasn't on. Hopefully someone, somewhere has this movie on tape. If so, I would be glad to pay for it. I have a collection of horse movies, being a horse-a-holic myself, and have been looking for this movie for years. it is truly one of my favorites, and one of the best tear jerkers i've seen.

With Memorial Day weekend gone by again, I have once again tried to find this movie. If anyone reads this please let Turner Classic Movies know by writing or logging onto their site that we would like to see this movie or at least like to have it released on video for our kids to see. I heard that TCM has the title rights. This is a great story and I am sure if anyone would show it, more people would remember it and want it played for our kids and Veterans alike. And if anyone has a copy, let me know. Thanks

This is one of two war movie ( The other was Sargent York)that I remember enjoying as a youth. I love movies with horses. Other movies I enjoyed are My Friend Flicka, Thunderhead(Son of Flicka) and Tonka(Disney movie). There was plenty of action in the film and a lot of sentiment. It has been a long time since I saw this movie. However, I liked it so much, I can close my eyes and mental see the story. I have been searching for a copy of this movie for several years.
