Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

John Taylor-Medhurst Except for the purposes of research where you're looking for parameters to judge films by, I doubt if anyone will ever watch this film, ever. I remember watching it in 1963 with some friends - the reason why it sticks in my mind is because it was always used as a benchmark to describe something else by, i.e.,'It was nearly as bad as......', or, 'It couldn't be any worse than...........' To be fair, this was a very low budget 'B' film shown in support of the main feature. It's about an Irish lad that takes his donkey called 'Patchy' to a local derby and races it. The 'speeded-up' special effects are very much of the time and are truly awful. There are some who will find this film rather quaint, but that's not a sentiment I can agree with! Judge for yourself, the Children's Film & Television Foundation Ltd., have uploaded a 5 minute clip onto Youtube!
