 | Green Grass of Wyoming -Classis Oct 14, 2009 |
I ordered a used copy of Green Grass of Wyoming but also got Flicka and Thunderhead CD's. All 3 stories were written by Mary O'Hara many years ago. My interest is in the Fairfied County fair ground scenes at Lancaster Ohio. I remember this film and the excitment as a child so I was very thrilled to find the classic on CD. My husband I ususally attend the Fair every October.

| Great Grandmother wanted my great neice and nephew to see the Flicka Classics Collection. The children are 5 and 3 years old and have watched each of the three movies included in the collection several times. They play act the scenes all the time while playing. The collection was great. Lessons learned are unforgettable. | | |  | Children and Animals May 16, 2009 |
Ken McLaughlin (Roddy McDowall) is a starry-eyed youngster whose love for horses gets in the way of his schoolwork. His father (Preston Foster) does not understand the boy and punishes him often in an attempt to straighten his son out. It doesn't work, and mother (Rita Johnson) suggests the boy be given a horse of his own. She reasons that if he has some responsibility, it will carry over into other aspects of his life too. Of course, Ken wants a wild horse named Flicka, the offspring of a "loco" horse named Rocket.
The cast is very good, especially the young McDowall. His sincerity and innocence is very appealing, both traits that stayed with him into later life. He was an asset to the film community and a real legend. Patti Hale is also worth mentioning for her small role as Ken's sister; she has plenty of spunk and personality.
The biggest problem with this movie is its over-sentimentality. Although these kinds of family pictures were a big hit during WWII and afterward, sometimes they were too saccharine. The ending is completely preachy and spells out the moral too plainly. It is almost insulting how blatantly we are told what we should have learned from the story. Sometimes these films were quite good and had a nice blend of legitimacy and sentimentality, but this one doesn't quite get it right. | | |  | PEGGY (Gun Crazy) CUMMINS can ride a horse! Apr 6, 2009 |
| This is the only way to get a copy of "Green Grass of Wyoming". I saw this on TCM a while back and was fascinated that the wildcat from "Gun Crazy" could play so wholesome a character as in this movie. She is terrific and worth the price for this one disc alone. | | |  | My Friend Flicka - super Jan 15, 2009 |
| I purchased My Friend Flicka for my grandaughter who is horse mad and watches Black Beauty over and over and over. She was thrilled with this movie and now watches that one over and over etc. My daughter said it was one of the best gifts she was given this past Christmas. As I live in the U.K. and she lives in Southern California I rely on this site.com for most of my gifts and have not been disappointed yet. | | | Write your own review about My Friend Flicka
