Reviews
“A potent drama… The depiction of ranch life and the scenes featuring Tom and his beloved pony will enthrall kids.”
– Leonard Maltin, Family Film Guide
“The exteriors have the beauty and flavor of all outdoors, which appears to particular advantage in the Technicolor used… Aaron Copland’s music is full of wistful, haunting strains.”
– Bosley Crowther, The New York Times
