Run overly sentimental

Run Wild, Run Free (1969)

Directed by Richard C. Sarafian this film based on the novel “The White Colt” stars John Mills, Mark Lester, Sylvia Syms and Gordon Jackson. A young boy who will no speak befriends a white colt with blue eyes.

Pretty simplistic in plot this is a fairly good watch of a slightly dated film. The music is massively over the top in places but otherwise this is a decently made film. A bit sentimental in places it is still nice to see a countryside based film when so few of those get made these days.

3/5
