I would love to find a copy of this fantastic movie.

If you are a Robert Young fan and are into horses this movie is a must. It is guaranteed to bring a tear to the eye. ( Maybe more than one ). All you horse lovers and " Lippy " owners in particular ,seek this one out !! I would dearly love to find out where one could get a hold of a copy of " Florian " I hope there is someone out there that can help ?

How to request them to produce it?

Although I have never seen this movie, of all that I would like to see, it is this one...how does a person request a company to produce a movie? I will try and find out, and request. :D

I would like to obtain a copy of this film.

A very entertaining film, it contains all thats necessary to make an enjoyable movie, in particular those interested in horses. Has all the necessary ingredients which makes it spectacular, especially the part where all the horses are penned ,ready to be transported to their slaughter destinations in Europe, and of course our hero finds him and thru this finds the girl! Have been trying for years to obtain a copy of it. Zeus.

I was lucky enough to have taped this

I saw this movie in 1940 and I never forgot it. It is a tear-jerker but of the best kind. All of the ingredients of a good plot are there and of course any movie with an animal, especially a horse is a guarantee of good family entertainment. It was shown in the afternoon on a Baltimore channel so I don't imagine very many families got to see it. Perhaps if enough of us write to Fox Movie Channel and Turner Classic Movies, they will show this movie again.I watch only the "classic" movies because I find I do not like the new violent/sex ones of today. There are so many good books that have never been made into movies. Tried and true books are much better than some of the "original" ideas used for the movies of today.

My mother used to tell me about this movie..

I watched for it on TV for many years, hoping it would be shown; for a while I thought my mother had made it up :-) Imagine my great pleasure when it aired on TV (over 25 years ago--long before VCRs, if you can imagine). It was just as good as she had said; Robert Young was so handsome, and Florian was far better than Flicka or Trigger.

"Florian" might not have been on the same level as, say, Lassie Come-Home, or Smokey (with Fred McMurray), but it was a good horse movie nevertheless.
