I hesitated to watch this film because I have zero interest in horse racing; but when I saw that Pleshette and Meeker were in the cast, I decided to give it a go. Initially, I wasn't impressed. However, as it progressed, I grew more interested to the point I wanted to see it all the way through. It's an interesting glimpse into the industry.
Overall, it's not a fantastic movie. It's melodrama with some action sequences here and there. Nonetheless, the storyline drew me in; and I was glad I watched it all the way through.
There's some really cool cinematography here. The horse racing sequences are fine examples of that. Pleshette's costuming is nothing short of gorgeous; and if you're into set decoration and design, there's scenes featuring luxurious furniture examples of the 1960s.
My only true criticism is more in the form of a question: If Ty Hardin had not been handsome, would he even have had a career as an actor?
For a real kick, do some internet research on Mr. Hardin. It will surprise you.
