Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMany of the Olympic judges were, in real life, the coach drivers charged with taking the actors and actresses to and from their hotel.
- GoofsWhen the horses are being loaded onto and unloaded off the aircraft, the engine covers are clearly displayed. These are only used when an aircraft is parked overnight, or stored out of service. They would certainly be removed long before flight (the crew are shown going through pre-start checks), and not placed back over the engines immediately after landing (they were visible as the "passengers" were getting off the aircraft).

Featured review
unnecessary but watchable sequel
It really was folly to attempt to recreate the innocent magic of 'National Velvet' years later, but in 1978 they went ahead and did it.
Velvet has now grown up (and turned into Nanette Newman!) and is looking after her orphaned niece Sarah (a young and talented Tatum O'Neal). Tatum loves the horses too (naturally) but this time her ambitions are higher than her aunt's - she wants to enter the Olympics.
'International Velvet' is ok, and stands up as a film in its own right; but doesn't have the gloss or magic of the first film. This could just be that it was made for another audience entirely, but in a more cynical world, it was destined to bomb.
Character actors in the cast do their best to liven things up (Christopher Plummer, Anthony Hopkins, Peter Barkworth, Dinsdale Landen, Richard Warwick) but this horse race doesn't really run.
