1943 adaptation of a Mary O'Hara short story

Ken McLaughlin (Roddy McDowall) is a precocious 10-year-old who lives with his family on a remote Wyoming ranch. When Ken returns home from school with failing grades, his father, Rob (Preston Foster), blames the boy's lack of personal responsibility. At the suggestion of his wife, Nell (Rita Johnson), Rob allows Ken to choose a single colt from the herd to raise as his own. Much to his father's dismay, Ken chooses a fiery mustang filly -- but the two soon become fast friends. (Rotten Tomatoes/UR/1h29m)

Chips, candy, sodas, and water will be provided. Film begins promptly at 3pm. The library's Great Short Stories discussion group will be talking about the short story, "My Friend Flicka" by Mary O'Hara on Monday, July 14th at 6:30pm, more info here!  For more information, contact Holley at 205-445-1117 or hwesley@oneallibrary.org.
