Review of International Velvet

First' I own a copy of INTERNATIONAL VELVET and have seen the movie many times, almost as many as NATIONAL VELVET with Elizabeth Taylor. I happen to thoroughly enjoy both films. I guess "horse" movies have always held my interest and I'm sure this goes for many other film-goers. So this is a must-see for those who fit in this category. Maybe because it has an aura of 1970's studio standard issue box office hit, INTERNATIONAL VELVET will have a strong sentimental appeal for the viewer. I value this movie so much. The coming-of age story, the British component, the OLYMPIC GAMES ( well presented) the wonderful cast, the scenery&soundtrack all make for a unique experience. What can you say except you must get ahold of a copy and sit down and watch it. Special mention includes: Tatum O'Neal' Anthony Hopkins, Nanette Newman, the ARIZONA PIE and a plethora of beautiful horseflesh.
