A pleasant, harmless film, THE STORY OF SEABISCUIT brings to the screen the legendary horse in a fictionalized account. Shirley Temple plays Margaret O'Hara, the Irish niece of trainer Shawn O'Hara (Barry Fitzgerald), who roots her uncle's champion horse to victory and finds spare time
to romance jockey Ted Knowles (Lon McCallister). William J. Cartledge is cast as jockey George Woolf, who rode Seabiscuit to a number of victories. The film includes three documentary segments of Seabiscuit in action--one on the track at Pimlico against War Admiral and another in 1940's Santa
Anita Handicap.
