Fair Short

Tale of a Trotter (1956)

** (out of 4)

Mildly charming short about the life of a harness horse named Spunky. We see Spunky shortly after being born and then we see the various trainings he goes through before finally seeing his first race. TALE OF A TROTTER certainly isn't anything special but I'd imagine children would get a real kick out of it especially if they enjoy watching horses. Adults will probably find some of the material interesting but there's no question that this here is fairly poorly made and especially some of the cinematography. I'm going to guess that this isn't the same horse throughout the film and I'm also going to guess that this here was thrown together using some stock footage in certain spots. I say that because the short genre had pretty much dried up by 1956 and it's pretty obvious that not too much money went into the film. For some reason we have two people doing the narration but both do a nice job.

This is one of several short subjects, already in the can, and slated for release by RKO Radio Pictures as part of their Sportscopes 1956-1957 season, but which received no theatrical distribution at the time, as a result of RKO's demise. In 1994, they became part of the TCM library and, for the past 25+ years, have seen the light of day through occasional airings on cable television.
