Kings of the Turf (1941)/Saved from the Flames: 54 Rare and Restored Films (1896-1944)
The life of a cart horse from birth to adulthood is detailed with questionable humor in Kings of the Turf. I’m sure there is someone out there that finds such things amusing, but for me, it’s quite a bore and very forgettable. It’s too fictionalized of an account to feel informative and not appealing enough to bother otherwise.
As the title suggests, Saved from the Flames is a collection of rare films that were made during the days of nitrate films. Comments on the films are available after the cut.
Oscar Nomination: Best Short Subject, One-reel (Kings of the Turf)
