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

 Family Ties November 22, 2007

I have an uncle who helped build the jumps in this movie. So I had to have it for the family ties. I have also a great interest in horses and also the family tie to England.

I have both National Velvet and International Velvet and both are really good movies. However some of the details of the second movie doesnt fit into the first one. Ok for instance Arizona Pie is suppose to be the Pie's son. The Pie was a gelding in the first movie. So he couldnt have offspring. Also the Pie was a sorrel with a white blaze and 4 white legs. and in the second hes a dark brown to almost black. Also National Velvet took place in the 1920s and Im assuming International Velvet took place in the 70s. so that would make velvet almost 60 or so. But overall the movie is good but wished they would of gotten the facts right before they made the movie

I saw INTERNATIONAL VELVET on cable television yesterday and loved it so much. I came to Amazon to order the DVD, but was very disappointed to find out it is not yet on DVD. I can only hope Amazon will be willing and able to influence whoever might be able to get this done.
Anything involving horses gets my attention, and I must say I was not ready for the story to end. A bitter and uncooperative Sarah came to England to live with her Aunt and her writer boyfriend. I would have given it 5 stars if they had not been living together unmarried, which is not a good example in a family film. But through their loving and sacrificial care, Sarah evolved into a lovely young lady worthy of admiration and honor. Her tough equestrian coach even earned my respect by the end of the film.
Tatum O'Neal, Nanette Newman, Christopher Plummer, and Anthony Hopkins played their roles magnificently. The beautiful horses and scenery only added to the enjoyment along with the believable and inspiring story. I felt a slight disappointment at the end when the small box did not contain an engagement ring, but that feeling was quickly overcome by what the box did contain.
I do hope others will feel this film worthy of release on DVD. I will be watching for it Amazon!! Thank you!
