National Velvet [DVD]

I have never seen National Velvet before, I am 67. I am not a horse lover, and this, did not appeal to me. BUT while I was searching for low price of movies on Walmart, I saw this movie, so I figured what is the worst case, I never watch it again? The story is awesome. Lots of lessons to be learned. The message is charming. Of course this movie is where, Elizebeth Taylor got her start. This was her first movie. She was just as beautiful then as she was in Cleopatria . Any way this is a great all around family movie, no swearing. It would make a great Christmas gift for that little girl in your life. I highly recommend. ( I write all my own reviews .)

Great classic movie at a great price!

I bought National Velvet for my granddaghter. We have watched it together at least 6 times already. She loves it and so do I!! It is a wonderful horse movie with plenty of character and moral teaching.

looks great. great for the price

It was a great value for such a great movie featuring a young elizabeth taylor.

I felt kind childish buying this movie,but once I watched it I realized this movie is for any age..and I'm 20. I recently got hooked on Elizabeth Taylor and can't stop buying her movies....lol. This movie called "National Velvet" is a great movie with a great story line. Elizabeth Taylor and Mickey Rooney are almost like a mini Taylor and Burton later on in life....He'll try to tell her what to do but, she ends up doing things her way. You should really get this movie though if your a fan of Elizabeth's because, no collection is complete without it. Love you Elizabeth :)!!!!!

This is a wonderful film for families and children. In this story, we meet Velvet who loves horses with a passion. She falls in love with a horse, that is a little wild, and wins it in a lottery that was designed by her father and the man that owned it to get rid of the horse! What a lovely story about passion, love, family and how one little girl can live her dream! She believes so much in this horse, that the man that was supposed to ride it in the race, didn't believe in it and Velvet knew she had to make the ultimate sacrifice and ride in the race! She cuts her hair, pretending she is a boy and wins the race, only to collapse at the end! The support of her family, especially her mother, through this whole ordeal is breathtaking! Definitely, a classic movie, one which everyone should own!

I LOVED this movie as a young girl... I really thought I was Velvet Brown as so many girls who live and breathe horses do! Now I get to share it with mine!
