Good Family Fare

I must admit, I saw this film when I was around 10 or 11. I very much enjoyed it then. I grant you, it's a "grade B" western, but who cares.

If you are a horse lover you will enjoy this movie.

To this day I remember the song in the movie: "They bury them deep in Kanab(sp)."

The Lion and the Horse review

A cowboy grows fond enough of a wild horse he captured to steal him from a cruel rodeo showman to whom his former workmates sold it. A modern-day western which strangely tries to hide all evidence of the fact it's set in mid-'50s America. It's a slight but enjoyable tale bolstered by Steve Cochran - who's given a rare chance to play a good guy for once - in the lead. Unfortunately, as with many films about the friendship between a human and a wild animal, the feel-good factor is diminished somewhat by the fact that the human had to first break the animal's spirit in order to befriend him.

Wonderful Family Story

This movie ranks among movies like Lassie, Smoky, National Velvet & The Black Stallion. This tear jerker story is about a man & his horse & the wonderful bond they had. Unfortunately it has never been released on video & I have not found it on TV, Cable or Satellite since I was a kid. At least not since the invention of VCR's. I have many fond memories of this film.

Steve Cochran Rides Wildfire

Wild horse training cowboy Steve Cochran (as Ben Kirby) wants to keep a beautiful black stallion for himself, but the animal is sold to a rodeo showman. He finds "Wildfire" being abused by owner Ray Teal (as Dave Tracy), who won't sell. After leaving a refused $600 payment for the horse, Mr. Cochran sets him free. Later, Cochran trains Wildfire while working for Utah rancher Harry Antrim (as Cas Bagley) and bonding with his cute pigtailed granddaughter Sherry Jackson (as Jenny). The family-friendly trio is threatened by a nasty lion and the return of Wildfire's angry owner... There are some spotty production values, but "The Lion and the Horse" gives you a great look at Cochran in an appealing leading role.
