This is something as rare as a war film about horses produced by Walt Disney while he was still alive, being about simultaneously produced with "Mary Poppins", but this is no fairy tale although it seems to contain elements of it, but it is a very true story, and general Patton was part of it himself. Not only was it an impossible task to save the Spanish riding school from the Nazi occupation of Vienna under bomb raids and threats of the approaching Russian army, but a more challenging necessity was to save the Lipizaner mares from their refuge in Czechoslovakia. The Russians had already seized the Budapest riding school and eaten the noble horses, and Czechoslovakia was consigned for the Russians. How then did the Spanish riding school of Vienna with the world's most celebrated horses manage to survive? It's a long and wondferful story.
Robert Taylor makes a fine performance as the director of the cschool in charge of all the worrying operations, while Lilli Palmer seconds him brilliantly. Eddie Albert is one of the master riders and even sings a song in a Viennese taverna. Brigitte Horney plays an important part as the countess housing the school in St. Martin, while Curd Jurgens' performance as a desillusioned German officer is more melancholy but the more important. On the whole it is a brilliant film and a must for all horse lovers, and who could not be a horse lover viewing a film like this?

This film tugs at the heartstrings with its memorable music, beautiful and talented animals, and compelling history. Though it opens like a war movie with tankers and soldiers filling the screen, it soon shifts into a moving story about the historic preservation of the famous Lippizaner stallions during the Second World War. This is family-friendly fare and safe for elementary school-age children (approx. third grade and above), to watch and enjoy. Those who love horses will be in awe of the impressive, precise performances these intelligent stallions present. Indeed, this film has so stayed with me since childhood, I leapt at the opportunity to see the Lippizaner stallions of today perform in real-life several years ago. They still "dance" to the same famous song! :)
This exceptional live-action Walt Disney adventure-drama might have benefited from a warmer actor in the lead role, but Robot Taylor (pun intended) nevertheless brings strength and conviction to the part of an angry but caring man. The supporting cast is uniformly excellent, especially Lilli Palmer and Curt Jurgens who supply a depth of emotion to a dry and unsentimental story.
The film works the family-oriented animal interest of the Lippizan horses into the framework of a dramatic and often suspenseful wartime adventure. One needn't be a horse-lover to be caught up in the story and end up caring about the animals which in this film are symbols of art, grace and beauty surviving a war-torn world. The audience is teased with glimpses of the stallions at play and in training and learns to appreciate their value so that the full-blown horse-show finale comes as a welcome joy.
The well-produced movie was filmed on location in Austria and is handsomely photographed. There is a gripping battle scene and adults will be impressed with the maturity of the entire project.

"Miracle of the White Stallions" is a most unusual film...one I'd never heard of until I stumbled upon it on YouTube. Think about it....a movie about the Nazis in Austria who work with the famed Lipizzaner stallions and saved them during the war! And, to top it off...it was made by Disney!! I can only imagine that the company hasn't put it on Disney+ because the company is probably worried about showing these Third Reich soldiers in a more politically correct age...though these men are decidedly anti-Nazi in their sentiments. It could also be that they have 'forgotten' about the film because it is a war film...something that doesn't exactly fit in with the Disney+ image.
The story is about a real life incident. Col. Podhajsky (Robert Taylor) is in charge of the famed Spanish Riding School in Vienna. When the movie begins, the war is going badly for the Nazis and Podhajsky is having great difficulty protecting this very special breed of horses...an Austrian national treasure in many ways. To make it worse, the higher ups won't allow him to evacuate the horses to the countryside as they don't want to acknowledge in any way how badly the war is going. This film is about his efforts to save the animals and preserve this tradition...and, fortunately, the real life Podajsky was on hand to make sure the film got the story right.
This film is blessed with a very impressive cast, including: Robert Taylor (Podajsky), Eddie Albert, Curd Jürgens, Lili Palmer and James Franciscus. It also is a story that offers a bit for everyone...especially horse lovers. The story is well written, based on true events and is quite inspiring....a film Disney should be proud to have produced.

Miracle of the White Stallions is a story set in the final days of World War II in Europe. Robert Taylor plays an Austrian Colonel in the German army. Back in his civilian days he was the head of the famous Spanish Riding School in Vienna which featured the famous Lippazaner breed of specially trained horses. The school had been operating in Vienna for four hundred years and its future in doubt with both the American and Russian armies closing in and the Lippazaner mares over in Czechoslovakia.
The performances of these horses had entertained Viennese natives and visitors for generations and they were and are considered a national treasure. The film concerns Robert Taylor's efforts to save the horses aided of course by Lilli Palmer playing his wife.
The criticism of this film is that Taylor's performance is too wooden. But I think the point is missed that he was a single minded man on a mission and apparently flunked out of diplomacy school. Fortunately he's married to Lilli Palmer who smooths a lot of rough edges out during the film. I think that's what was intended in this script.
As the German surrender and Taylor fortunately falls into the hands of the Americans instead of the Russians, he manages to interest an American major played by James Franciscus in his quest. Who then in turn interests the theater commander who is George S. Patton.
As we learned in the movie Patton, George was an old horse cavalry man and even rode in the 1912 Olympics for the United States. Good thing he was in charge instead of Montgomery. Patton is nicely played by character actor John Larch.
Others in the cast of this very nice family film are Eddie Albert as Taylor's aide and Curt Jurgens as a weary German general who helps Taylor in his hour of need.
Nice piece of family entertainment from the Walt Disney studio.
