‘Seabiscuit’
From Page B1
vintage race footage is included m ti e black-and-white newsreel interludes. For background then- is a romance between the trainer’s niece 'Temple; and 'Seabiscuit” jockey, Lon McCallister. Though deeply in love, Shirley won’t marry the jockiy unles-. he gives up horse racing.
This movie is an interesting example of Technicolor entertain- ent frr m Hollywood’s histone studio system in the 30s, 40s and 50s. It wasn't unusual for ^.mtract players (in this case Shirley Temple, Barry Fitzgerald and Lon McAllister) to play fictional characters in fact-1 ased series, since factual fidelity was often considered a secondary priority.
That’s why this drama makes no mention of the legend-, y “Se-aiscuit” Uainer Tom Smith or jockey Red Podard, who were duly recognized in the 2003 “Seabiscuit” based on Laura Hillenbrand’s historically accurate 2001 best~«4ier. McAllister does play a Nxise rendition of Pollard, including his accidental chest .njury. (Not rated, 93 minutes.)
