Lovers of fine horses may or may not enjoy seeing Robert Young somewhat gingerly ride a superb Lipizzan stallion (Florian) through this filming of an Austrian Black Beauty story by Felix Salten. They can scarcely fail to admire the stallion, who, with Charles Coburn (a sage village doctor), gives the best performance in an otherwise one-horse film...
