THUNDERHEAD
(20th Century Fox)
SEQUEL to My Friend Flicka which, like its predecessor, wiil appeal most strongly to children and to lovers of horse-flesh, As before,
herds of mares and stallions gallop. dnd canter across vast Technicoloured landscapes, while Roddy McDowall and his father (Preston Foster) try to tame them and keep the stud-farm going in the face of difficulties. The chief source of difficulty is a wild albino stallion, a magnificent beast, that keeps rustling mares from the herd until laid low by Thunderhead, Son of Flicka. Since horses in motion are always photogenic, this \ film’ has considerable visual ‘appeal. In other respects it is not quite so satisfactory, for once again one has the impression that the four-footed members of the cast are a good deal more intelligent, and certainly better to look at, than those who walk upright.
