Movie Haiku:Three men battered by the Great Depression find unity of purpose when they put their faith in a cantankerous thoroughbred. SPLIT DECISION: Rich found this “preachy” & was annoyed by David McCullough’s didactic narration; Jan felt the historical background provided resonance for what could have been a simple “horse story.”
