Review: Should have seen it sooner. - This is a story of believing in yourself, in a fun package. The 12-year-old kid, Velvet, reminds me of the modern dog trainer, Cesar Millan. I saw him on video explaining his story, and he was a little boy in Mexico who decided he'd go to LA, where they trained Lassie, so he could become a famous dog trainer. At one point, he said he was washing cars in California, barely able to speak any English, and telling people he was going to be famous on TV. He was laughing and said he was naive, but it helped him because he didn't recognize obstacles and he just kept going. He'd probably love this movie, because the character in the film is so similar to him: a determined kid with a dream. There's wisdom in this story; it shows people taking the pitfalls in life with a sense of humor, and treating others with kindness. I didn't like the part where they showed the race, but the horses who tripped on the jumps did get up and trot away, thankfully. This movie left me in a great mood, and after renting it, I decided to buy it. A perk of the film is that Elizabeth Taylor knew the horse and suggested him to the studio, and the actress really did love that horse and owned him for the rest of his life. So the affection in this movie is authentic, and she did most of the riding. This is a movie filled with love, humor, and all that's good about people. Also shows spectacular footage of a gorgeous horse, along with great acting by everyone. Wish I'd seen this fantastic movie sooner!!! Review: Great movie - The movie plot was ahead of its time. If you are an Elizabeth Taylor fan this is a must see. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Angela Lansbury, Anne Revere, Arthur Treacher, Clarence Brown, Donald Crisp, Elizabeth Taylor, Enid Bagnold, Helen Deutsch, Jackie 'Butch' Jenkins, Juanita Quigley, Mickey Rooney, Norma Varden, Pandro S.

Wish I'd seen this fantastic movie sooner!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great movie *by W***S on October 31, 2025* The movie plot was ahead of its time. If you are an Elizabeth Taylor fan this is a must see. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A True Classic *by J***K on June 7, 2024* Elizabeth Taylor began a great movie career portraying the adolescent, Velvet Brown, who has a passion for horses and speed. Like an adult horse whisperer, Velvet Brown has a love affair with the young, but brilliant horse, Pie. The film is complete with terrific English scenery, super performances by legendary actors, wonderful music, and a story that will last as long as classic films do. Filmed in the long past of movie history, National Velvet is as fresh today as it was when it first thrilled audiences around the world. It is noteworthy that long before girls and women received equal status on the screen, National Velvet champions the courage and bravery and whole heart of it women stars. National Velvet is a treasure that should be viewed by each new generation of movie fans.
