...WILD, RUN FREE. Parents who think that most matinee movies more often seem to be made by children than for them will be pleasantly surprised by this subtle, low-keyed allegory of childhood's end about an autistic English boy (Mark Lester) and an almost magical white colt...
...When you interviewed him, he was always interviewing you," recalls White. "You got the impression that he had been isolated for a long time. He would ask questions about what San Francisco looked like. What were the buildings like? How many people had cars, refrigerators? He didn't seem to be interested in Communism as an international conspiracy. He talked in terms of what the country would...
