National Velvet - Now this is what I call a simply marvelous movie

Based on a book by Enid Bagnold this gem of a movie from the golden past tells the story of Velvet Brown, a young English girl with dreams of entering her beloved horse into competition at the prestigious Grand National horse race. The film follows her journey full of conviction and self belief as she trains her horse with the aid of a former jockey and the support of her parents.
The characters are created in such a way that somewhere you tend to get emotionally involved with them and tend to grow close to your heart.
It was absolutely heartening to see a world so trusting in that era and that humanism from humanity is long vanished and sorely missed I must say..
This movie is about believing in yourself and working hard to reach your goals.
And now for a bit of trivia...the stunt riding was performed by the now famous ‘Horse Whisperer', Monty Roberts. I believe he is given mentioned for his riding in the movie credits.
Watch it this wonderful movie if you can grab a DVD of the same ..you will love it.
