Review of White Mane (1953) by Tom H — 21 Jan 2010
While the story is not my forte, I couldn't help but be impressed by the photography of every single scene, the way the director manages to attain the performances he needs from animals (and the kid -- I don't know how he didn't drown eight times during the making of this), and of course the image that closes the film -- an impressive ocean tide in the foreground and a horse (carrying a boy) swimming through it in the background.
This isn't a movie that can brag about its ability to tell a story. White Mane is one of those movies that says, Here, this is why they invented a device that puts photographs in motion.
