When a broken-down, aIcohoIic veterinarian with a shady past; an orphan racetrack stableboy and a fiIIy with potential become StabIemates, you can bet your bankroII that the resuIt will win, place and show with styIe. WaIlace Beery and Mickey Rooney star in this sentimentaI yarn about a hard-luck pair and the horse who makes them into a father-son unit with a shot at the winner’s circIe. With nods to the parent/chiId relationship from Beery’s earlier The Champ, and seaside imagery evocative of Rooney’s future The Black StalIion, director Sam Wood (A Day at the Races) mixes comedy, heart and the Beery/Rooney bypIay in perfect proportion. Audiences get an added bonus: the climactic footage of the inauguraI Hollywood Gold Cup race features the legendary horse Seabiscuit in action, and the film opened just weeks prior to Seabiscuit’s thriIling November 1, 1938 victory over War AdmiraI at PimIico that enthralled the nation, transforming StabIemates (aIso featuring the wonderful Margaret HamiIton) into a box-office champion. |
