What a GREAT Movie! How I didn't see "Boots Malone," before now, I have no idea? I'm 57, love the old black and whites, film noir, and anything horse racing; So, I can't understand how I missed this Classic Gem of a Moving Picture feature presentation? Anyhow, if you're looking for a worthwhile film to feast your eyes on, this is it!
I grew up near a racetrack. We lived on a thoroughbred farm. This is a good movie. The racetrack life was a world all It's own. Many stories have not been told yet.
My dad's uncle Vinnie came back from WW2 and made a living playing the ponies. He said he'd never lift another heavy load, never dig a foxhole or trench, and never step into another man's chain of command again. He handicapped the horses all season from Hialea to Saratoga and every track in between. He took a class in photography using the GI bill and was the family photographer till he died. He married late, never had kids, and was a gentle, kind and a welcome presence in all our homes. Nothing makes me daydream more than the idea of Uncle Vinnie driving his 46 Ford Superdelux with the top down along the Atlantic seaboard. Look up that model, it's gorgeous. "Charlie Potata's.'' Is what my dad said when we asked about Vinnie. "He's got it all figured out." 🤣🥰
Great movie!! First time watching. Not many score up there with John Wayne but this movie is top shelf!! Right up there with Angel and the Bad Man, McLintock and The Quiet Man...Anyone else love John Wayne movies? Thanks for sharing this gem!!
Brings a tear or dozen too my eyes. Got a son who thought I was the greatest when he was young. But now, " we both got older." Now we both know better.
Conozco los hipódromos y las apuestas más que nadie y entiendo las trampas que se hacen.por eso esta película me pareció el mejor retrato del mundo de las carreras de caballos y la capacidad de los Jockes. Excelente película, muy recomendable.gran trabajo de W.Holden.
WHEN MOVIES WERE GREAT / WHEN YOU WATCHED EVERY SECOND OF THE MOVIE BECAUSE IT WAS GREAT / NOW LOOK WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE SO CALLED MOVIES JUST A BUNCH OF CRAP
Couldn't agree more!! First time watching this movie. Not many score with me up next to John Wayne movies but this definitely made top shelf beside Angel and the Bad Man, McLintock and Quiet Man....that's good...the BEST company!! Thanks for sharing this gem!!!
WOW, what a fabulous film!!!
GREA GREAT GREAT STORY THANK YOU FOR DOWNLOADING THIS BEAUTIFUL FILM ❤
FANTASTIC! William Holden: A Man's Man! God Bless
That was the best horse race I have ever seen movie or real. That was the bomb. If that was Real actor he should have got an Oscar. Good old movies.💋
Top notch movie, worth the watch.
Good movie. Great acting by the kid.
Amazing horse racing movie right up there with some of the best.
William Holden ? I'm in !
A very good movie! Best I have seen about horse racing.
"Let It Ride'' with Richard Dreyfuss is a good one too.
Great movie! The very good looking William Holden was super as usual and the young man that played the jockey did a fine job. Glad I watched it!
What a GREAT Movie!

Brings a tear or dozen too my eyes. Got a son who thought I was the greatest when he was young. But now, " we both got older." Now we both know better.
Great movie.
Upbeat vibe.
Great movie ❤thanks for sharing ❤
The way he walks, the way he talks: William Holden knows how to act!
Really good, old fashion movie...you will enjoy it.
A real winner for number 5! Surprise ending; I did not think they were going to have any close ups of the horse racing, but had that t00!
Great movie with an incredible story. If you like horse racing movies, this one will certainly make your day (or night).
Thanks for sharing this!👍🏻🩷🩷🩷
My Pleasure 😇
one of the greats of all times
So this is the movie which introduced Johnny Stewart. History was made.
Classic movie Hollywood at its best.
I give it 5 WOWs. Great script. Great direction. Great acting. Great music. Holden is brilliant.
Thanks
Good movie thanks for posting
Bravo . Fantastic . Thankyou
You’re welcome 😇
Wow, that was great!
This is an interesting movie about race track hustling. They keep you guessing about who’s going to outsmart who.

At 4:35, that guy with the glasses is Whit Bissell. Must have missed his name in the creds. Wasn't sure I'd like this but it was a great flick!
I'm a big fan of his but he was breaking my heart at one point, being so harsh to the kid😮...
Great story and cast only ten minutes left❤

Elmer Bernstein Isolated Score Main Title
At 1:24:45 The peak of creativity
Santa Anita? Del Mar?
Boots previously ran a TH-cam channel - it's NOT a career, kids.
William Holden foi um excelente ator, mas infelizmente sucumbiu ao álcool, como muitos outros.
Can't really call that an ending
A very good movie" however the interuptions is off the chart and I wont subscribe because of it
