Product Description
From Amazon.com
This gorgeous 1943 family film stars Roddy McDowell as a Colorado rancher's son who takes a shine to a colt named Flicka and chooses to train her. The boy's father (Preston Foster) isn't happy about the idea: the horse is an offspring of a stormy mare who may not be right in the head. For a while, Flicka seems determined to prove the rancher's point, fiercely resisting young McDowell's efforts at domestication. But persistence and love win the day, and Flicka grows up to be a magnificent animal and friend. The film was shot by director Harold Schuster and cinematographer Dewey Wrigley as if for the ages, marrying such perfect elements as a Technicolor sweep of the beautiful Rocky Mountains setting with a wonderful story, plus McDowell's charismatic earnestness. Based on the Mary O'Hara novel, this film was popular enough in its time to inspire a couple of sequels, though the original best stands up as a perennially worthy adventure tale for kids ages 5 and up. --Tom Keogh

A Trip Down Memory Lane,
By
This review is from: Flicka Giftset Collection (DVD)
When these films were released, I recall seeing them in the local Movie Theatre, as they beame available to the public. The sequence of this trilogy returned me once more to my younger years and the good, wholesome family entertainment that was available to everyone. The story line is predictable and the acting is a simple rendition of the script, but it cleverly includes the viewer as more than another someone occupying a seat just to pass the time away.This DVD Collection was received as promised by the Vendor and the quality of the movie itself, was very good for its era. It is a 'must see' for both children and adults who have any apprciation of the horse world and the manner in which families adopt horses into their inner circle.

Childhood dreams and responsibilities,
By Vidya T (Santa Clara, California United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Friend Flicka (VHS Tape)
I have not yet seen the movie but have read this book so many times i have lost count. This is my favourite story and Ken's feelings were close to what I felt growing up. Lots of kids day dream and such was Ken's dream to own his own horse one day. When dream becomes reality, Ken deals with all the ups and downs that must come with responsibility of ownership. I fell in love with Wyoming in my own mind and I am hoping that the movie will live up to my image of Wyoming and Goose Bar Ranch.A truly heart warming story...
