Film Matinee: Boots Malone

on BBC One London

starring William Holden, Johnny Stewart

Boots Malone, a jockey's agent down on his luck, doesn't see the potential in the horse-mad youngster who arrives at the track one day - but The Kid eventually wins his spurs.
The American race track provides some puzzling contrasts with our own, but the story and characterisation are full of interest, particularly the development of the relationship between Boots and The Kid. The film is also unusual in completely avoiding any 'love interest.'
Written and produced by Milton Holmes
