The Story of Seabiscuit (1949)
not very good
5 November 2008 - 2 out of 8 users found this review helpful.
Although it is a nice, warm, charming story/plot it is a let down considering. The fact that some of the main characters in this version are completely fictional (the O'Haras) bothered me throughout the entire movie.
I did love that it had some actual B&W footage of some of Seabiscuit's races. And being a sucker for almost any animal movie (especially horses) I utterly enjoyed all the scenery and all the shots of the horses. The only reason I would watch this again is for that, not for the plot or the actors. But I'm fairly sure that this one is going to collect dust on my DVD shelf.
If you are going to watch a movie about Seabiscuit, I advise to see the amazing 2003 version and skip this one.
