I love this movie, its wonderful. Mickety Rooney so young us perfectly cast, then the stunning child Elizabeth Taylor as Velvet, she was truly beautiful. Donald Crisp plays her Father and one of her sisters is a very young Angela Lansbury. The scenery & set are so real & take you back to days in England when life was simple & good. This is a classic for all to enjoy. It is heartwarming and joyful & funny & exciting. The horse is magnificent. I love this movie.

The classic story of a young girl with a dream. Her mother supports her and believes in her dreams and gives her encouragement to reach them. Her father, who loves her, takes a little more coaxing but wants his daughter to be happy. Velvets dreams begin to take shape when a young traveler (Mickey Rooney) comes to town looking for Velvets mother to find out information on his father, whom she knew. They give him work and a place to stay and he in turn helps Velvet (played by Elizabeth Taylor) to reach her dreams. This is a great inspiring story of never giving up and believing in yourself. One of Mickey Rooney best! I love this movie!! It's especially good if you like horses.
I had heard this movie from long ago was fantastic. Not to me! What a disappointment. I don't like the story line at all or the characters, especially Elizabeth Taylor's character. Watched it once, and I won't be watching it again. Will give this away to Goodwill or friends. That's how much I disliked the movie!

As a Troop Coordinatior for a troop of American Heritage Girls, I selected "National Velvet" to show as a film to complete their Horsemanship badge. It was exciting to see the girls cheer Velevet on as she turned the corners and leapt over hedges. Although it is an older film, laughter, tears, and smiles generated throughout the crowd. This truly is a classic film filled with the innocence of a time long past, plus magnifying the difficulties and the values held dear to a family living in England during the 1920's. The love of a horse is felt through the eyes and actions of Velvet. An endearing film, every horse lover should see it. I hightly recommend this film.
This movie is a hilarious old fashioned movie. If you like horses you will like this movie. (Even seasoned equestrian riders can appreciate the skillful jumping that takes place in this movie and as an added bit of knowledge, when the filming for this movie was done they actually gave the "pie" to elizabeth Taylor as a gift.) If you ever had a crush on Mickey Rooney you will like this movie. My favorite character is Donald Velvet Browns little brother he is the epitomy of a boy who has grown up the youngest in a family of all girls. Although it has that old film look and feel it is nice because it is in color.
