The film adaptation of Alan Marshall’s eponymous novel marked the end of Karel Kachyňa and Jan Procházka’s collaboration (Procházka’s name was removed from credits). A poetic story of a brave boy who rides horses despite the crippling poliomyelitis has not lost its beauty over the years. (Summer Film School)
