Movie review - "Black Beauty" (1971) **1/2

 Tigon tried to class themselves up around this time - didn't work, though points for trying. Mark Lester is ideally cast as the young chap who likes the horse, and there's a decent cast. Some of these admittedly give off typical Tigon vibes - the evil squire, the voluptuous village girl.

I haven't read the book. I assume it's faithful - I've heard it is. James Hill was the director - animal guy from Born Free.

The horse goes missing in a lot of this. It's not bad though. Location filming in Ireland and Spain helps.
