Absolute OK movie meeting expectations won through trailer
15 May 2007
Warning: Spoilers
When I saw the trailer I was left with hair on my neck standing up, literally in all directions. I thought the idea was brilliant.

Is it wise to leave the boat, all at the same time without checking if the ladder is out? NO. Is it possible? I say yes.

Now between you and me, I am not much of a sailer, but as human errors go, I would think this is possible to happen. When you see the trailer you already know this is going to happen, so the chances of the movie turning into anything but a movie with people swimming next to a boat - fighting survival, are very low. Seeing how very limited the acting is, as everyone is swimming, I do think it was actually rather good. The plot is consistent and coherent, Eric is gorgeous and the other swimmers do play well along his side.

Worth seeing is my verdict, though preferably not before a sailing trip, or just then ..??

A classic
22 April 2005
Absolutely brilliant show. Loved it as a child would love to see it again. It goes in the direction of Lassie - only with a horse instead of a dog and a slightly different time - in the west.

If I remember correctly - and it must have been about 18 years since I last saw the series -it was in black and white. Jim the good hearted-and looking uncle, the little boy and most importantly (for me) the horse which saves peoples lifes and understands your needs.

The true beginning of horseman-ship ?

Truly hope it will be available on DVD in the future and bring me back to my childhood.
