flashback42 Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 The slow-life community was small enough that the horse was allowed to trot freely through the streets under a very narrow schedule. Each day as the school day was about to end the horse would go to the one-room school and would be waiting outside when the girl's class was dismissed. The town was used to it, and the locals joked about being able to set your watch by him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashback42 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 The movie opens with the sequence described above -- the horse arriving at the schoolhouse at end of schoolday. Near the end of the movie, the horse again arrives at "school's out" a the end of a long and adventurous trek, somewhat the worse for his experiences, but very welcome. As mentioned before, this film is a remake of an earlier film. -- One in which the central relationship involved a boy and a dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashback42 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Whew! Correct at 205 Views. I saw *Gypsy Colt* at time of release. I had never seen *Lassie* at that time,but my 4th Grade teacher had read it to the class on an after-lunch schedule. Even on that background, I knew that "Colt" had "Lassie's" plot. Never saw the earlier movie til years later. skipper's thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashback42 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Thanks, skipper. My next selection is another film whose fans and posters would like to have access to a commercial copy. Late 1980s. Brother and sister, working-class young adults, have a struggling rock band. And some ambitions for it. Some conflict with their parents over this. The parents, mother especially, is distressed when they quit their jobs to go on tour with the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashback42 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Not *Satisfaction.* The sister -- she has a 5-year-old son, father unidentified. Her center of interest is the band and her hopes for it to succeed. Anger and attitude. The brother still has hopes for the family, and he is the supportive, doting buddy to his young nephew. The kid goes with them on the band's tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashback42 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 The sister is played by an established musician & singer. She has titles and albums on the charts, and IMDb shows her with three times as many Soundtrack credits as Acting credits. The secret she is carrying: Her son's father is a local community bigwig who is, among other things, an icon to people like her mother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
