Reviews

OllieSuave-007 I saw this movie in a middle school class. It was quite an adventurous story, about a daredevil woman who rides horses off of high dives. However, an accident involving one of the horse falling off a very high platform changes her life forever.It was a somewhat entertaining, dramatic and adventurous movie from what I remember, with some good acting and a good story-line with achieving one's goals.It's also quite a nostalgic film that reminds you of the old days (as it is set during the Great Depression). It's a good one for the entire family.Grade B

SnoopyStyle It's 1932. Sonora Webster (Gabrielle Anwar) is a head-strong orphan in Waycross, Georgia living with her younger sister under her aunt. She gets into trouble at school. Then she reads an ad for a diving horse rider. Her aunt is about to give her over to the State. She runs away to ride the diving horse for Dr Carver (Cliff Robertson) in his carnival act. First she comes to the rescue to Dr. Carver's son, Al (Michael Schoeffling) after he's caught cheating at cards. Bumbling Clifford Henderson (Dylan Kussman) immediately falls for the beauty. The diving horse job is already taken by Marie (Kathleen York). Al helps Sonora to tame a new wild horse.This movie has the feel of a well-made TV movie. Director Steve Miner can't seem to raise the level of the production. Anwar is a beauty but there is a spark of innocence missing. She is playing only a plucky one-note performance. That is more due to the writing. There's also an over-romanticization in this movie. In the end, this is at the level of a simple watchable TV movie but not much more.

hilarys778 Absolute schmaltz, this movie is the core of many girl-nights and sleepovers from my youth. Michael Schoeffling is so delicious, and I don't know why he never made it too bigtime. I think Gabrielle Anwar is talented in her subtlety, even though this movie is so Disney, so superficial and sugary. Red-headed carnival boy (plays role of "Clifford") is pretty good too.It's nice, it's family-friendly...take it to entertain some young girls while babysitting or something.I cannot believe they make us write these things to ten lines. Am I in detention? I mean, really now, I used to believe in "brevity is the soul of wit" and all that. Anyhoo, here's your stinkin' 10 lines. Have a g'day, dear reader of mine. Cheers.

cmyklefty I do not know how many times I watched this movie. It enjoyable every time I see it. Gabrielle Anwar who plays Sonora a runaway is desperately to make her dreams true as a driving girl. A lesson worth learn about in the film. All the performances are great. A film worth the celluloid it printed.
