We saw this version of Black Beauty as a television special many years ago. It was one of the best versions we had seen. We searched for it often and never found it. I remembered that William DeVane was in it and always used his name search as a means to determine if it was "the one". I was surprised when I saw that it was available and purchased it right away. We watched it and even though our memories of a great movie can change over time, we still found it to be a rewarding experience in watching it again. I recommend this version of Black Beauty as a good family movie to watch together like my family did.
