Zitate
[first lines]
Narrator: The village blacksmith belongs to a past time: the ring of his hammer on the anvil, the sparks from his forge, all evoke a nostalgic picture of a time that used to be. A time when a three-alarm fire was answered with the clanging bells of the old hook-and-ladder wagons - a time when the big brewery wagons rolled through the city, drawn by giant Percherons - and the horse-drawn streetcar was a novel innovation in transportation.

More like a chance for Warner Brothers to show off their stars.

Although this short film purports to extol the virtues of blacksmiths and, in particular, a blacksmith who serves various Hollywood celebrities (all of which just happen to work for Warner Brothers), the film really is just a case of shameless self-promotion by the studio. The narration and laudable comments notwithstanding, the film is nothing but shot after shot of stars on horseback. Now I know that some of them truly did love horses and were excellent equestrians, but I also wonder if some of them couldn't tell one end from the other and were just stuck in this short to promote their careers! Regardless, it's pretty dull stuff and seems so scripted that it doesn't even seem to offer a 'behind the scenes' look at the stars as they play. Mildly interesting at best.
