i love this movie because i grow up around harness racing . pat boone behind the sulky remind me of my father who be draw to the trotter because and unlike thoroughbred jockey and men of normal height and weight can be driver . yes and the 1944 home in indiana be a good movie and but it also a very different movie . april love be light and easy to watch and a feel good movie . ( disappointing though that pat boone religious or moral view prohibit him from ever kiss the girl . quite a change from today standard fare . ) home in indiana with walter brennan ( film in black and white with no hint that anyone will ever burst into song ) capture the stress and struggle well thereby make the ultimate accomplishment more satisfying but it require a big emotional investment .
