Rented "Bite the Bullet" last night and it was
very good. For a movie done in the 70s it really portrayed a cross country horse
race very well. It showed some harsh things and it must of been before the SPCA
laws regarding filming horses. They had this one scene I had to rewind several
times where a horse backs off a cliff and into water and its one shot! They
would not be allowed to do that with new laws. There were several things they
did with those horses that would not be allowed now. They did show them sponging
off their hot horses at stops and taking saddles off. Now I have to rent Snowy
River!
