Based on Anna Sewell's novel. In rural England of the 1880's, widower Squire Wendon is rearing his young daughter Anne. Her father has forbidden her to be present when their mare, "Duchess," gives birth. Anne sneaks out to the stable, however, and is discovered by her father who forbids her ever to ride Duchess again. Despite this punishment, he gives Anne Duchess's colt because it is her birthday, and she names him "Black Beauty."

    This 1946 film adaptation, "based on" the classic novel by the same name, yields a mixture of satisfaction and disappointment. Though the intrinsic themes from the book are present, the constrained storylines don't reach the same levels of drama and adventure.
