International Velvet

Starring: Tatum O'Neal, Christopher Plummer
Director: Bryan Forbes

Thirty-four years after the release of National Velvet, MGM
came up with this attractively filmed sequel. Tatum O'Neal
stars as the niece of Velvet Brown, Elizabeth Taylor's character
from the first film (the Taylor role is played herein by Nanette
Newman, the wife of director Bryan Forbes). Like her aunt,
O'Neal is horse-happy, and hopes to become an Olympic
equestrienne. There are a few tense moments when O'Neal
fails to measure up to her aunt's overexacting standards, and
when the girl evinces jealousy concerning auntie's live-in love
Christopher Plummer. But with the help of crusty old trainer
Anthony Hopkins, O'Neal proves herself every inch the
horsewoman that Velvet had been so long ago.
