Critics largely dismissed this 1978 movie despite the fact that it was directed by a serious filmmaker, Bryan Forbes (The L-Shaped Room, King Rat). A sequel to National Velvet, the film stars Nanette Newman as the grown-up Velvet (played by Elizabeth Taylor in the 1944 film), and Tatum O'Neal as her niece. O'Neal's character decides to become an Olympic-caliber horsewoman herself, and the prestardom Anthony Hopkins plays the no-nonsense trainer who helps her get there. No dull shadow of its famous predecessor, International Velvet is an exciting film in its own right, with a distinct tone and personality (Hopkins has a lot to do with this), and some very nimble work by Forbes behind the camera. This is more than just a movie for the kids. --Tom Keogh

4 good movies for the ones who loves horses. The Best one is National Velvet:-)

a gift for the grandchildren who like horses, but have none
My granchildren liked all the movies. I gave them as presents and haven't seen them for myself.

A good value release, without Extras.
What you see is what you get! 4 films, no special extras, but 4 old favourites at a reasonable price. Highly recommended to those who just want to watch the 4 films without any bells and whistles. A good choice of movies for the horse lover.
