Looking for a particular Loretta Young classic movie about a race horse she owned & wanted to...?
...race the horse
as I stated above she hired a young trainer whose family had been at odds with her family for many years.I believe Walter Brennan played her grandfather. The young trainer did not give Loretta young his real name because of this family feaud. She later found out but was too late because she was already in love with him
Synopsis:
In Kentucky during the Civil War, John Dillon, a local horse breeder originally from Massachusetts, leads a company of Union soldiers to Elmtree Farm, which belongs to a competing breeder, Thad Goodwin, with orders to confiscate the horses of known rebel sympathizers. When Goodwin sees his prize horses being taken, he pulls out a gun, but Dillon shoots and kills him. Goodwin's young son Peter runs out crying and screaming at the departing soldiers.
In 1938, Peter, now a crotchety old man, still resides on Elmtree Farm and raises horses with his niece Sally. Dillon's grandson Jack returns from England, where he has been learning the banking business for eight years. Although Jack wants to breed, train and race horses, his father convinces him to work in his bank and train horses as a hobby. Sally's father encounters Jack's father at the track and asks if he could get a loan from his bank to buy cotton. Dillon says that he will take the matter up with his board, and then, because Jack is anxious to cross horses with the Dillons', they roll dice to see who will give up a horse to the other. Dillon loses and writes Goodwin a note for the horse. When Dillon speaks against the loan to the board of the bank because it is for speculation in cotton, Jack argues against his father and questions whether his motives are personal. The loan does not pass, and when cotton prices fall, Goodwin has a heart attack and dies. Jack leaves his father's home after an argument about the loan.
After the Goodwins are forced to auction nearly all their horses, Jack offers his services to Sally, who does not know he is a Dillon, as a trainer of their last prize horse, "Bessie's Boy." Although she says that they cannot pay him, he offers to train the horse for nothing until the horse wins. During a storm, Sally drives to get a doctor for her ill mother after the phone wires have come down, but a tree falls and blocks the path of her car. She then saddles Bessie's Boy, and despite the objections of Peter, who warns that running the horse on cement will ruin him, she rides off. The horse's legs are injured from the four mile run, and after her mother dies, Sally and Peter are forced to give up the farm.
After Sally finds the note from Dillon offering any two-year-old at his farm, she goes to the Dillon farm with Peter, who hates the Dillons. Although Sally wants to take "Postman," who has the appearance of a winner, she defers to Peter's judgment about a "runt" horse which, he says, has "the look of eagles" in his eye, a look he has seen only a few times before. They name the horse "Blue Grass," and after a few weeks, Jack and Sally are skeptical about him, but Peter predicts that the horse just needs time. As their romance grows, Jack tries to tell Sally of his identity but can't. Soon Blue Grass's time improves, and they decide to enter him in a prep race prior to the Kentucky Derby. Before the race begins, Sally learns Jack's real identity, and even though the horse wins, she and Peter have Jack paid off.
At a dance before the derby, Jack explains to Sally that he didn't think she would allow him to train her horse if she knew he was a Dillon, and she accuses him of trying to insure Postman's victory. Before he leaves her, he warns that Blue Grass's jockey should not use a whip, because the horse sulks when he is whipped. He also says that he loves her. When Peter instructs the jockey to whip the horse when he gets to the eighth pole, Sally countermands the order, which greatly upsets Peter. Jack reconciles with his father, but roots for Blue Grass. During the race, as Blue Grass and Postman run neck and neck, the jockey uses the whip, and Blue Grass falls behind, but the jockey soon stops the beating and Blue Grass wins. Sally embraces Jack, but Peter collapses before the decoration ceremony and dies. At his funeral, Dillon eulogizes him and the passing of a phase of American life.
The Oscarologist: Where's the Passion for This Year's Oscars? A Look Back at ...
2009 was not a great year for movies. Some very good movies came out last year, but nothing great.
Avatar is a big video game. It's lovely to look at, but it's a movie with so-so acting and the script.
Liked Up in the Air very much. Just the third movie by young filmmaker Jason Reitman, he's added to his streak of quirky looks at America (Thank-you for Smoking and Juno were his first two). While I liked the ambiguous tone to the end of Up in the Air, something seemed a little lacking.
2009 did have outstanding animated movies. Up, on the whole, may have been the best movie of the year. Coraline was eerie, and the Fantastic Mr. Fox was just fantastic. Even Monsters vs. Aliens had some surprisingly sharp social comentary.
Ironically, the best actor performances, IMHO, were all in science fiction movies. Sam Rockwell was amazing in Duncan Jones's Moon, as were Viggo Mortensen in The Road and Sharlto Copley in District 9. Will they get any notice? Probably not. This seems like "the Jeff Bridges payback year," which normally wouldn't bother me so much. He is owed. Still...nice to see people win awards the year they deserve the award rather than for some other year.
Loretta Young in Life Begins (1932): Young, McMahon, Linden star ...
Depicts a day in the life of a maternity ward that's always on the edge of chaos. Formerly a play by Mary M. Axelson, the film was banned in London and several other nations upon its release in 1932 for its blatant expression of fears that are both timeless and universal: pregnancy and motherhood.
Through modern eyes, the content is neither blatant or harmful, nor are the explorations of these fears deep, yet in its main conflict, holds up with a strong cast including Loretta Young and Eric Linden who offer poignant, sensitive performances, while Aline McMahon shines as the rational Miss Bowers, and Glenda Farrell and Frank McHugh add a much-needed dose of comic relief.
Exchanging WardsGrace Sutton (Young) arrives at the hospital shackled and teary-eyed on the arm of a brutish prison guard who refuses to let her see her young husband. Grace is a convicted murderess who has seemingly leapt off the grisly front pages of the newspaper into a maternity ward for "difficult cases." Her status hardly shakes up the routine of this ward, however, where screaming women and frantic husbands are the norm. Soon, Grace becomes just another scared pregnant girl. She is a quivering mass of nerves whose wide, shining eyes reflect nothing but innocence and fear, making the other women - and the audience - immediately accept her.
The Mothers-To-BeJust seven years shy of
Florette Darien (Farrell) is a blousey nightclub singer with bleached curls who refuses to accept the advice of anyone who sees babies as more than screaming nuisances. She is appalled to discover she's having twins and swigs at a hot-water bottle spiked with alcohol as she awaits her delivery with feigned indifference. She belts out songs and insults to anyone who will listen.
Miss Norton (Ruthelma Stevens) is an unwed mother-to-be who is proud to announce her intention to raise her baby in the modern fashion without the typical coddling expected from overindulgent mothers. She gladly shares her views on the "psychological conditioning of infants."
