This gorgeous 1943 family film stars Roddy McDowell as a Colorado rancher's son who takes a shine to a colt named Flicka and chooses to train her. The boy's father (Preston Foster) isn't happy about the idea: the horse is an offspring of a stormy mare who may not be right in the head. For a while, Flicka seems determined to prove the rancher's point, fiercely resisting young McDowell's efforts at domestication. But persistence and love win the day, and Flicka grows up to be a magnificent animal and friend. The film was shot by director Harold Schuster and cinematographer Dewey Wrigley as if for the ages, marrying such perfect elements as a Technicolor sweep of the beautiful Rocky Mountains setting with a wonderful story, plus McDowell's charismatic earnestness. Based on the Mary O'Hara novel, this film was popular enough in its time to inspire a couple of sequels, though the original best stands up as a perennially worthy adventure tale for kids ages 5 and up. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - Flicka
This is christmas gift for my sister wonderful family picture and all horse lovers
Rating:  - Awesome horses - less than awesome actors
Sorry, but I just cannot get past Roddy McDowall's English accent. He's supposed to be a Wyoming rancher's son, yet he speaks like a Brit. No one else in the entire movie speaks like a Brit so it comes off as really annoying. It ruins the whole movie for me.
PS - I love Roddy in nearly everything else I've ever seen him in - especially "How Green Was My Valley"
Rating: - Classic
Roddy McDowall is an Icon in my book. Well made, well written. Great, classic coming of age/learning responsibility story. Excellent for the family.

Rating: - NEW VERSION COMING SOON!!
Based on the novel by Mary O'Hara, My friend Flicka is set against the backdrop of a modern-day ranch in Wyoming. It tells the story of Katie (Alison Lohman), a teenager who dreams of running her family's ranch, much to the dismay of her father (Tim McGraw); his hopes are pinned on her older brother.
The original was great, so it will be wonderful to see what they can do with it. Not to mention Tim McGraw will be in it!!
