Well done but not a film I adored....

The title of the film proudly calls it 'John Steinbeck's "The Red Pony"'...and I guess if you adore John Steinbeck, that's a big selling point for this remake. But it didn't mean a lot to me...and I realize he is a beloved 20th century writer...but the movie left me rather flat. It had its moments and featured some fine actors...but the film meant nothing more to me.

The story is that of a family, but particularly focuses on the stern and generally unlikable Carl (Henry Fonda) and his young son, Jody (Clint Howard). Carl has great difficulty showing emotion and rides his son awfully hard. The boy, as a result, is rather soft...and the story is how the two come to find a common bond through some horses. Whatever.

The bottom line is that despite Steinbeck's revered name, the weakest part of the film was the story. It was rather slow and took a meandering course...but at least the acting was very nice. In addition to the two above, Maureen O'Hara and Jack Elam (playing her father...though the two were born only about two months apart) star in this made for TV remake of the old Robert Mitchum film.
