This is a stunning debut work by director Carol Ballard, who rose to fame with "Ten Thousand Miles Home". In a dramatic and lyrical style, it describes a boy who drifts to a deserted island with a black steed during a shipwreck, and the man and the horse develop an extraordinary bond as one. Later, they were rescued and returned to human society. By chance, they met an experienced equestrian coach and were trained to be excellent racehorses and young jocketers. They won the championship in a competition. The cinematography of the entire film is extremely beautiful and touching. Especially the scene where the child star Kelly Reno plays with the black colt on the beach at that time, which presents the ultimate beauty of nature in terms of audio-visual effects. Mickey Rooney's portrayal of the horse trainer also holds a significant position in the film. The triangular interaction between the old and the young and the horse sparks touching sparks, making it a first-class representative work among similar films.[Collapse]
