A girl wins a horse in a village lottery and is determined to enter him for the Grand National.
Reviewed by Chris Tookey

Classic family movie which doesn't exactly dwell on the practicalities of racing a horse in the Grand National, but works extremely well as sentimental escapism. Elizabeth Taylor is captivating.
