Description

One of the great untold stories of World War II unfolds in this suspenseful adventure-drama. During the last perilous months of the conflict, Vienna's famed Spanish Riding School -- and its prized Lipizzan stallions -- is threatened by devastating bombing raids and indifferent Nazi commanders. Despite the dangers involved in evacuating the magnificent animals, the school's director (Robert Taylor) and a handful of heroic citizens attempt a daring, life-threatening plan to move the stallions away from the ravages of war and, more importantly, keep the historic breed alive.

Lilli Palmer and horses whats not to like.......2007-06-01

This was a most unDisney like film in its day and audiences stayed away in droves but in fact it is a very entertaining film about the famous horses of Vienna who were saved from the bombings during the second world world and taken to safety in the country.. If you are looking for Tommy Sands and Annette in this one, forget it cause it has an adult cast starring the Legendary Robert Taylor and the beautiful international star Lilli Palmer, who once was Mrs. Rex Harrison, and Eddie Albert and German star Curt Jurgens.. Although there are nazis and one battle scene at the end, this is not a bloody war film but it does have a fairly adult theme but there are plenty of beautiful horses.. And for sure some scenes in the Spanish Riding school in Vienna with these famous horses doing their dressage routine.. Not a kiddie film but all ages can enjoy it and filmed on location in Europe which was very rare for the Disney Studio at the time.

Great movie. Not only a valuable history lesson, but a great look at the amazing Lipizzaner stallions!

Walt Disney's Miracle of the White Stallion.......2007-03-09

This is a fantastic movie. I recently went to see the Lipizzaner Stallions perform and they are such a beautiful sight to behold. I did not realize the trouble that was taken to save these beautiful horses. I think the the movie depicts it rather well and in such great detail. Great movie, I feel that everyone should see it.
