Snowfire

I had no idea so many other folks were searching for this wonderful movie "Snowfire". I saw it as a child of 10 in the late 50's and the movie and song have haunted me on and off for all of these years. I find myself on occasion singing the title song in my head even though I cannot remember all of the words. Why has this movie crept into my mind and stayed?? Obviously, it hit a nerve in my young mind at the time and stayed with me all these years. No other movie since the re-release of Gone With The Wind in the early 60's has affected me so. Unfortunately, I have not had the opportunity to see it again on any of the classic channels in this area. I so want to obtain a DVD or Video of this wonderful classic. Hopefully, someone, somewhere who has "connections" is watching this website and will help in the re-release of this movie. It would be a shame to lose this little piece of the past....Won't someone come to our rescue???????????

Although I was a young kid when this movie came out back in 1958, it is a movie that I always cherished. The bond between the girl and Snowfire was very endearing. The song " Snowfire " is such a fantastic tune that even today , more thatn forty years later, I can still remember a good deal of the song and the melody. For years after the movie, I could hear my mother sing the song. When this movie would go on cable tv, my neighbor ( who owned the movie theater were I saw Snowfire ) would call me over to watch the movie. If there ever was a movie that I would like to see again, it would be Snowfire. I wish that it would be on video.

I too, grew up watching "Family Classics" with Frazuer Thomas on WGN-TV on Sunday afternoons. I could sing the whole song with the exact words. Opening scene was Molly and her sister sitting on a fence watching the rustler chasing Snowfire to the rim of a canyon, and with out any where to go, Snowfire leaps to the river below.

I remember hearing the WGN had a fire in the classic movie vault in the 60's. I hope that "Snowfire" was not one the movies lost.

I would love to get a copy of this movie on VHS. If anyone knows where one can be found, Please e-mail me.

Thanks, to all the horse lover out there that remember the true "Classics"

Sorry. Snowfire will not be released on video or DVD. This has to do with legalities and something to do with the family. I cannot give further details without permission (which I have asked for). Your best bet is to write to WGN and request that they show it, make tapes and circulate them. There is only one copy left. It is in a vault in Chicago and can be rented for something like $150 per showing.

If you are interested in talking to other fans of this film, contact the Snowfire Revival Society mailing list -- a Topica list, linked from the "miscellaneous" links on the left-hand side of the main page for Snowfire at IMDb.

It is very heartwarming to see so many others remembering and looking for this movie. I have searched over the years in discount video bins hoping I would come across it. I, too, have been haunted by the theme song, not really remembering it, but it is there. I would also like to introduce my children to this movie. If I remember correctly, the scenery was magnificent and just the sight of Snowfire running through the canyons was quite beautiful. Seeing it as a young girl, I could relate to how deeply Molly cared about Snowfire's well being. If there is any way to prompt a release of this movie, I would gladly pore-order to get the attention needed.
