THE STORY OF SEABISCUIT [1949] on Turner Classic today

Postby ballymoss » Sat Jun 11, 2005 7:14 am

TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES, TCM, is showing an earlier version of Seabiscuit story, complete with some original race footage. Made in 1949, stars Shirley Temple. Story has been Hollywood-ized, but still worth a peek.

That movie is a bunch of hooey, total fiction. It was fun to watch for horse-lovers who don't care about the facts. The book by Laura Hillenbrand and the subsequent movie are much more true and entertaining. (Especially the book, for those who missed it.)
