It struck me so profoundly that it is the only film I specifically recall seeing from that era. The ending image of the boy swimming out to sea astride White Mane is as vivid to me today as it was when I last saw it more than 50 years ago.<br /><br /> At the time, cable was not widely available in my small rural Florida town so the only tv channels we could access were the 3 broadcast stations, ABC, CBS and NBC. In other words, the White Mane I saw HAD to be on one of the big 3 and, although it could have been Lamorisse's production, I find it hard to accept that a French speaking film would have been broadcast on one of those channels in the early 1960s. So it must have been an english adaptation of Lamorisse's film.<br /><br />Try as I may, however, I have been unable to find any reference or evidence at all to confirm my recollection. Perhaps, but I doubt it, the whole thing is a product of my imagination. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
