- I've not read any of Walter Farley's books, but I think the film of
- "The Black Stallion" is truly wonderful. I have seen it at least a
- dozen times and I'm gonna watch it again next time the opportunity
- arises. I have a video of it, but no player -- probably just as
- well!
-
- Why does the film appeal so much to me? I guess the horse himself,
- the photography and sheer artlessness of the story account for most
- of it. No other horse movie I've seen comes close, including the
- sequel. (I know more than one horse plays the part of The Black, but
- I prefer to think of it as one horse.)
