Black Beauty, the popular and heartwarming literary classic, comes to life in this 5 part miniseries. Filmed entirely on location in the beautiful horse country of Kentucky, Black Beauty is the story of a horse, the people who love and cared for him, and those who did not. It is the story of a magnificent spirit that overcame all odds and prevailed. Starring Ike Eisenmann, Eileen Brennan, Martin Milner, Diane Ladd and William DeVane, Black Beauty includes a stellar cast of guest stars, including Clu Gulager, Peter Breck, Forrest Tucker, Jack Elam, Van Johnson, Edward Albert and Farley Granger.
The bonus feature on the Black Beauty mini-series is a very special conversation with Petrine Day Mitchum, author of "Hollywood Hoofbeats; Trails Blazed Across the Silver Screen." Mitchum has done exhaustive research on the irreplaceable role of the horse in American cinema and television from the silent era to the modern age, and the interview is richly illustrated with scores of photos and movie clips of the greatest horse-performers, including Champion, Flicka and of course, Roy Roger's amazing horse Trigger.
