After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

An wonderful 'feel good' family movie that gives equines the proper recognition they deserve being that America came to be what it is because of equines. The actual Bess magnificently portrays the incredible soul that is the heart of a mare! I would go so far as to say that this is an inter-species love story of unparalleled quality. What's equally wonderful is that this movie is now available for purchase on Amazon.com and it's worth EVERY PENNY of it's purchase price. Gather the family, get your popcorn and snacks, sit down and prepare for some genuinely 'wholesome' family entertainment! Oh and MANY thanks to Chris Parker for his recounting of the 'true story' of a beautiful angel of light! If only I could have been blessed to meet Bess in real life. Every day I give thanks for the blessing of a life that is centered around equines...~"To see her is to love her, And love her forever, For Nature made her what she is." - Robert Burns~

This is one of my all time favorites. I have vivid memories of how Bess went from tank to tank with the water buckets. Then the horrible storm scene. I have tried for years to find this movie, Gypsy Colt, Black Gold, and others. All of us who enjoy this movie need to write TNT & have it released. How can they keep a wonderful movie like this from so many who want it? Especially the family, I am really surprised at that! I really want my child to enjoy it just as I had. Since I do not have cable or Dish, it is very difficult to have access to the classics. If someone was able to catch it on late night TV, and got it recorded, please e-mail me!

I am a huge Gallant Bess fan from Australia. I haven't seen this movie for 35 years, but still remember it was one of the best movies of all time. I am desperately trying to locate a copy of this movie to keep so if anyone reads this that can help I will be forever in your debt. I too have a daughter that I want so badly to show this movie to, please if anyone can help me, contact me. Thank you to imdb web site for finding me some more info on Gallant Bess.

I saw this movie as a young horse crazy girl. It was a tear jerker and heart warmer. A beautiful story of friendship and the loyalty of a magnificent animal and the hardships of war. I get teary eyed just thinking about the story. I hope that someday it will be available on video or DVD. I would love for my son to be able to see it. If you are lucky enough to see it, it is well worth the tissues.
