Featured review
Beautiful landscapes, good music, lovely couple, wonderful horses, nice love story and a bit of secrecy make this movie a pleasure to watch. The story about a boy (nice Pat Boone) coming to his uncles' farm quitting conflicts with law (movie's only flaw: Pat Boone does not convince as a juvenile delinquent. But soon forgotten: it works as a mere excuse for him going to the country) where he becomes a man training a racing horse and falling in love with neighbour (Shirley Jones) is both appealing and entertaining. A new version of Winston Miller novel already filmed back in 1944 entitled Home in Indiana. Both are nice. This one, more sweetened has lovely songs added, spectacular technicolor landscapes of Kentucky and a more sophisticated mise-en-scène, including a refreshing amusement park scene. Delightful entertaining especially for a summer afternoon.
