r 9 What a cracking little film! I was not expecting this to be so great. 'The Littlest Horse Thieves' is a highly touching and well paced film from 1976, it's one of Disney's best live-action offerings up until this point in time. The studio have done a crap tonne of animal and children stories in these early decades, some of them work nicely whilst some fall flat. This, however, is excellent. It sucked me right in, I was fully invested in the story of Dave, Alice, Tommy and 'their' ponies - especially the latter's spearhead, Flash. The ending hit me, I can't lie. Andrew Harrison, Chloe Franks and Benjie Bolgar play the aforementioned human trio - they give what you'd expect from kid actors, but I appreciate their performances. You also have a number of adults involved, with my standouts being Alastair Sim (Harrogate) and Joe Gladwin (Bert). Other positive parts include the locations and score, both of which are lovely. An outstanding film, one I would highly recommend!

The music works most of the time, and the film does have its moments, especially the beginning. However, much too long, mainly to blame a contrived romantic subplot.[/color] [color=yellow]The Littlest Horse Thieves (1977, Charles Jarrott) ***[/color] [color=white]Disney production filmed entirely in the UK. Vivid period atmosphere, set in a small English colliery town (coal mining) in the early 20th century. [/color] [color=yellow]I, A Woman (1965, Mac Ahlberg) **[/color] [color=white]Very early example of erotica, originally imported to the US by Radley Metzger. Flashbacks hard to distinguish from reality. Really nothing more than episodic melodrama. DVD transfer horrid.

I was confused as to motivations through a good part of the film, but all is revealed in the last 10 minutes, and I was a little surprised.[/color] Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
