Pickford Family Matinees: The Red Pony @ Pickford Film Center
Tickets
Sep 8 @ 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm
Pickford Family Matinees: The Red Pony @ Pickford Film Center | Bellingham | Washington | United States

The Red Pony is an adaptation of the John Steinbeck story of the same name. Top billing goes to Myrna Loy and Robert Mitchum, but the film’s true star is young Peter Miles as Tom. A lonely farm boy, Tom seeks refuge from his troublesome home life and his eternally squabbling parents (Loy and Shepperd Strudwick) through his devotion to a newborn colt. The red pony is the issue of a prize mare owned by ranchhand Billy Buck (Mitchum), whom Tom idolizes. The film’s coming-of-age theme culminates in a poignant denouement. Louis Calhern plays Tom’s lovably prevaricating grandfather, while 10-year-old Beau Bridges essays one of his first featured roles.
