Editorial Reviews

Although National Velvet was the first starring role for 11-year-old Elizabeth Taylor, the early part of the film belongs to Mickey Rooney in the showier role of Mike Taylor, a headstrong English ex-jockey. Soured on life by a serious accident, Mike plans to steal from the country family that has taken him in, but his resolve is weakened by the kindness of young Velvet (Taylor). The two find a common bond in their love of horses. Velvet wins an "unbreakable" horse in a raffle, and enters the animal in the Grand National Sweepstakes. Though Mike is unable to ride the horse, he aids Velvet in her plan to disguise herself as a jockey; she wins the race...but the story isn't over quite yet. Costarring as Velvet's mother is Anne Revere, who won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her performance Based on the novel by Enid Bagnold, National Velvet has been a child classic for over 50 years.

November 15, 2009: MAJOR HORSE LOVER National Velvet has ALWAYS been my FAVORITE movie and still is. I gave my last DVD of this movie to a friend so I needed another copy. Anyone who was once a little girl who loved and always wanted a horse even if grown now will LOVE this classic movie. I am now 55yrs. old and have had horses since I was 31. What a gift they are and have been. OC
