Wild Stallion (1952)

After his parents are killed in an Indian attack, a young boy (Orley Lindgren) is taken under the wing of an army horseman (Edgar Buchanan). But the boy has never forgotten his white colt, who ran off after the Indian attack. When he grows up to manhood, he (Ben Johnson) is determined to find the colt, who is now a stallion and the leader of a group of wild horses. Directed by Lewis D. Collins (TWO GUNS AND A BADGE). One of the last movies made by poverty row Monogram pictures before it closed up shop in 1953. It's B programmer, the kind of Saturday morning westerns that played on TV when I was a kid. Strictly routine although it looks more attractive than most of its type because it was shot in color (Cinecolor, not Technicolor). What can I say? Very young kids, horse lovers and western buffs are the most likely demographic to enjoy something like this. For everybody else, it's probably a waste of time. With Martha Hyer, Hugh Beaumont, Hayden Rorke and Elizabeth Russell.
