THANK YOU THANK YOU !! This was my favorite movie growing up as I went track to track with my Dad - What a GIFT to see this for the holiday time !! Shine your light BRIGHTLY !!! I know I will be SHINING MINE - what a blessing!!!
I remember watching this movie when I was very, very young. I haven't began to watch this movie because I want to see how accurate I could remember it. I remember a young boy. Something happened where he began to sob uncontrollably. I remember a race, where the name "White Cargo" kept being announced. White Cargo eventually won the race, of course.
You gotta love all the character actors and the lingo they use from that time now everyone has PC lingo very sad I grew up in the 50s now it's all gone.
I had wondered that exact same thing. Looks like he played in 2 to 3 movies, but that was pretty much it for his movie career, and I can’t find out any more information as to why he stopped acting so soon.
I thought for sure the $5,000 check would be what saved Team Malone from the cronies. Since the kid took the check into the room and slammed the door. Give it to him yourself line. Then with mother and Boots getting married and living happily ever after with the son he never had as his jockey and pardner. Good ending anyhow.
Excellent movie thanks so much for sharing! William Holden was an excellent actor in his time, but he said he hated acting! I think that's what drove him to alcoholism and he died while dunk as he fell and hit his head on the edge of a.. I think coffee table! Sad!
I was thinking: "That can't be too hard." So, believe it or not, at age 74 and not in too bad of shape I just tried it. What in the world was I thinking? I'm lucky a chair was nearby that I could grab; otherwise I would probably be riding in an ambulance right now. Holden was known for doing some outlandish balancing & strength stunts.
What a great movie! William Holden was fantastic as always. He's always very low key and believable no matter what the role. But it was refreshing to see Stanley Clements in a major role. I've always liked/admired him after seeing him stealing the film, Tall Dark & Handsome. I always wondered why he wasnt better known as he was an extremely fine actor. The film was fantastic! I really don't care for horseracing but this film had me hooked from beginning to end! They really don't make films like anymore, from a great tight script to extremely gifted believable actors, it was pure magic! Thank you so much for posting.
The boy Johnny Stewart was such a natural and expressive actor who worked well with William Holden. I remember seeing this over and over on Million Dollar Movie in New York during the early sixties. Thank you for finding this gem.
@@chuckthebull I think you are absolutely correct, as I had wondered the exact same thing about that gifted young actor. I was unable to find out any more information Online, which is quite unusual. Hopefully someone else can shed light on what happened to him.
Saw it for the first time around 1975......on the late show on TV....was shocked at how good it was...I knew many jockeys around South Louisiana and knew how accurate the film was...brings back so many memories.......
What shall one say... William Holden... he did it again...! I've known many man-boy-horse-storylines like this one - but somehow I never get tired of them. :-)
I'm 62 years old right now,and my dad told me to now ever bet my money on boxing or horse racing that there just to much cheating going on in them!!!!!
Summaries Boots Malone is jockey's agent and a bit of a wheeler-dealer who went from living at the Ritz to living in a room at the stables when his star jockey was killed in an accident. After nearly three years, he has yet to find a replacement for him. Along with his cronies at the track, he manages to buy a horse that's a bit of a sleeper. Their hopes of cashing in big take a positive turn when Boots decides to train an eager young man, who turns out to be a runaway from a rich family, as a jockey. When gangsters tell Boots to throw the race in favor of another horse, he faces a major dilemma.
when i was down and out, a good friend of my sister wanted me to be a horse jockey at the golden gate field , not far from oakland ca. only problem with that, i wasn't mean enough and don't want to hang around with the mobster. i kept away from this crowd and used what i learned from the AF as overhaul technician for a major airline. God always provides a way out when you are down and out. i love horses that's why l love to watch the old cowboy BW movies, Lone Ranger, Rin Tin Tin, wild bill hickcot, cheyanne, roy roger and the old tomstone. thanks for this great movie! william holden and gary cooper made great old cowboy movies.
I wonder how long it took Bill Holden to learn to do that kneeling trick to show his leg strength. 49:54 That actually takes A LOT of leg strength, core strength, and balance.
Hey, that was pretty darn good! I know less than nothing about horse racing and even less about acting, but this seemed to be a very realistic film, plus the acting was great.
I left home in 1976 and went to the "big apple", Ruidoso. Well I ended up in Southern California and loved it. As a racetracker, this is the most authentic movie. The writers knew the track life.... Thanks for posting, I saw part of it , but had to leave to take a horse to the post....
Yeah, I read lot of big actors would go to the track for horse racing. In 'life's too short' micky rooneys biography'.so it was probably late 30s 40s 50s micky didn't mellow till later. Lots of money people Big bucks show off. Most would win very few times, lost everytime there were some actors up coming ready to hit big MGM. The horse track was a fun place too looney and many were In hock with the mob. . These guys found dead (one bullet wound to the head usually, never a chase although im sure they probably chased people who looked at them accidently on bad day) one actor committed from suicide because of his dept. The rush experienced mustve been explosive winning at horse track plus poppin bennies along with scalding hot black coffee . I'll never know because I forget
I love Horses and horse racing. My favorite Grandfather was from Louisville Kentucky. His daughter was born on Derby Day .He want to name her Derby Downs ,but my favorite Grandmother insisted on Nancy Grey lol. Happy Derby Day .
this movie was a top favorite 45 years ago - in fact...listed on school papers as my favorite movie...Its WAY BETTER than I remembered...so glad you brought this one here
GREAT SEEING A MOVIE LIKE THIS,,I AM FROM BALTIMORE CITY STREETS AND ALL WE SEE IS VIOLENCE!!I HATE TODAY'S MOVIES!!I HAVE AND ALWAYS WILL LOVE THESE CLASSIC,S.. IT'S ALL I WATCH ..ONLY THINGS FROM THE 70,S AND BACK .TV WAS REAL TV !!THANKS FOR SHOWING THIS
I totally understand where you’re coming from. I too only watch old movies now, since the new ones have become pretty cheap and woke and un educational. My wife’s aunt worked in Hollywood with the Coen brothers (retired for some time now). She said there’s only several plots they regurgitate and they all happen the day the $h@t hits the fan. That’s why these movies are great because they’re the plots the first time around and involve a little bit more intellect. Good and clean also!
Interesting/informative.entertaining.. Enjoy viewing the pick ups & trailers/horse auctioneer/dress of that era. A wonderfully family oriented movie-!!!🤗.
Behind the romanticized façade of Thoroughbred horse racing is a world of injuries, drug abuse, gruesome breakdowns, and slaughter. Nothing remotely family friendly about that
Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this great movie! I'm an "oldies" movie lover along with William Holden as one of my all-time favorite actors. I think this is William Holden's greatest character he ever played and I think his greatest performance! I never knew this movie even existed and this is my first time ever seeing it. What a movie!

Thank you! Fond memories of the past; River Downs, Golden Gate, ah how sweet it was!. In my opinion; A Classic film and William Holden makes it so,
I remember watching this movie when I was very, very young. I haven't began to watch this movie because I want to see how accurate I could remember it. I remember a young boy. Something happened where he began to sob uncontrollably. I remember a race, where the name "White Cargo" kept being announced. White Cargo eventually won the race, of course.

You gotta love all the character actors and the lingo they use from that time now everyone has PC lingo very sad I grew up in the 50s now it's all gone.
super fine movie WITHOUT cussing or $@#
Great movie and great actors,what year is this movie?
A great surprise really enjoyed
Great film enjoyed it.
This move is too good to be true what a gem A MUST WATCH if you love horse racing !!!!
Behind the romanticized façade of Thoroughbred horse racing is a world of injuries, drug abuse, gruesome breakdowns, and slaughter.
@@luvluvluvluvcats Yes indeed, but not all of it.
i will save this one
kind of a hokey ending but otherwise a lovely story with great acting, especially by Bill Holden
Curious what happened to Johnny Stewart's career. Know he did some Broadway but not many movies.
I had wondered that exact same thing. Looks like he played in 2 to 3 movies, but that was pretty much it for his movie career, and I can’t find out any more information as to why he stopped acting so soon.
Did you kid lather up to the barber pole and shave on back?
😎Well Done!!!

Whit Bissell!
invasion of bodysnatchers
A haircut cost $5 back in 52??!!!
Fun great movie....dont make em.LIKE THAT ANYMORE....Holden wonderful and a good.supporting cast....
50:00 William Holden had incredible strength and flexibility and balance to be able to do a single leg squat like that

I'm lucky a chair was nearby that I could grab; otherwise I would probably be riding in an ambulance right now. Holden was known for doing some outlandish balancing & strength stunts.
1:42 "She's gonna buy a string of poloponies." Or maybe I heard it wrong. 😉
Seriously, really good story, acting directing. Great movie.
Great movie 🎥 Wow that is the best ❤loved it to the End! Thanks for sharing 🥰💐❤️
Yesterday saw William Holden in "Stalag 13." Terrific!!

GREAT film.....thanksalot. Good knowing Johnny Stewart is still among us at 88 today
terrific acting by Stewart, watched for 12th time supporting cast superb...Preacher Cole one of the best Basil was an opera star,
fantastic movie with a fantastic cast. Thanks for the upload Sandy Macleod. Respect.
Terrific chemistry between Holden one of Hollywood’s greats , and newcomer kid Johnny steward.
Saw it for the first time around 1975......on the late show on TV....was shocked at how good it was...I knew many jockeys around South Louisiana and knew how accurate the film was...brings back so many memories.......
Excellent film. Great story line, script and top notch cast.

Bonanza had some really nice horses but the show was too melodrama

Never liked Holden's pictures, until this one. Got me. Wonderful acting. Great story line.

I couldn’t have said it any better, except to add that the young actor playing Tommy (Johnny Stewart) gives a fantastic performance.
Looks like Santa Anita. Broadway Bill was filmed there too.

I thought I recognized Harry Morgan's voice. IMDB it and I was right. That is one person you can ID right away by their voice.
