Featured reviews
This movie is very well acted and is throughly enjoyable. It is an interesting comment on the thoroughbred industry and was well acted and very convincing. I wish it would come out on video as I would love to own it.
I absolutely love this movie! It has a sentimental touch and the music is great, but most of all Cheryl Ladd and Brian Kerwin are fantastic! I've always loved those two actors! Their chemistry is outstanding! Love horses! Very stylish 80's movie! I highly recommend it!
I'll spare you eye strain, as the header says it all. It's certainly a common tale, especially if you're accustomed.to being involved in horse breeding and racing and also if you've been divorced and had an alcoholic suicidal father and you run into a twenty something would be horse trainer whose main goal is mounting the owner of the horse farm, who's a magnet for every immoral stray, and what takes away from all of the ongoing sideshows, as if the three ring action lacks the excitement that you hunger and thirst for especially with characters who pawn and fawn over each other to fill their inner hunger and with a title like "Bluegrass" you'd really expect more appropriate music! Well, that's my riff!
"Bluegrass" is probably one of my favourite tv movie : romance, suspense, good guys and bad guys ... the recipe of "Dallas". Cheryl Ladd (Maud Adams)is playing a convincing horse breeder who must fight against her evil neighbour, played by Wayne Rogers, the very hateful Lowell Cheeplea. Brian Kerwin, playing Dancy Cutler, is the nicest character of the entire show : an ex-alcoholic who tries to fight his demons and win the heart of the beautifull Maud. "Bluegrass" is a tv movie for all the saga lovers, it's like ... you know, the sun during a sunday afternoon ...
I just want to say that this is one of the most memorable made for TV movies i have ever seen. I remember watching it and wish so much that i could find it on DVD or video. my family has a copy of it that they recorded while it was on TV. so the commercials are all there and i would just love to see it fully without fast forwarding. i love Cheryl Ladd and all the other characters in this movie. being the daughter of two thoroughbred trainers this movie hits close to my heart. in the very beginning of this movie there is a scene where they are in the bidding circle. the very dark skinned male sitting with his hand close to his face, he is wearing a horseshoe ring, he is my father :) another reason i live this movie. he had very small parts throughout the movie. that first scene and many scenes where he is actually riding the horses. :) i love this movie and if anyone knows where i can find it please let me know :)
