Description

Three of John Steinbeck's short stories are combined to create a powerful family portrait in this program. Young Tom Tiflin is unable to find the love and guidance he needs from his parents so he turns to easy-going hired-hand, Billy Buck. In an attempt to become closer to his son, Tom's father gives him a pony to raise. As the horse becomes the focus of Tom's life, it ultimately drives the family further apart. Family ties and Tom and Billy's friendship are put to the test when the red pony becomes sick and disappears. Stars Robert Mitchum and Myrna Loy.
