Snowfire, The Wild White Stallion (1958) Preview

[manga11124]

Where can you get Snowfire? Has anyone put it on DVD?

[RandyWaltrip]

Wow, I saw this movie at a local theater when it came out, and I was 8 years old, and I've been asking people for years if they remembered a movie called "Snowfire". No one had. Couldn't even find it in the movie guides. Was thinking it must have some other name I couldn't remember......but here it is! I was right all along. Thanks for posting this great memory.

[fmazzar]

What a great movie...I just watched it this morning on TCM, the greatest television network in the world....Little Molly was wonderful...there is a scene where a Psychiatrist tries to convince her that she cannot talk to horses and little Molly bets him his brand new sports car that she can.....he quickly remembers another appointment and drives off in a hurry.....wish they made em like this today....

[laperlademarchapel]

THIS MOVIE HAS BEEN A PART OF MY LIFE SINCE I FIRST SAW IT ... ONLY IN THE THEATER... HOW MANY YEARS AGO??????? I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE IT MIGHT BE AVAILABLE.... AND COMING TO TV 7/11! WONDERFUL!!!!!!!! WILL SHARE IT!

how did molly die?

[MollyLovesSnowfire]

@maddamrose2 A woman identifying herself as "Trish Hickey-McNaughton", the daughter of Molly McGowan Hickey's husband (by a later wife), stated that Molly "died at the age of 19 of bone cancer. She and my father didn't have any children, she was pregnant, but on chemo, so the baby wasn't to be."

Would you believe that producer Stuart McGowan originally planned this as a TV show? He first proposed the idea for the 1956-'57 season, but no one was interested in a weekly series. He then decided to make a theatrical movie out of it in late 1957, and released in the spring of '58. I can imagine what kind of situations Molly and Snowfire would have found themselves in {"What's that, Snowfire? You say that Daddy's been KIDNAPPED by some bad men??"}.

[fromthesidelines]

Yes, this did appear on TCM on May 18th, at 1am(et), in an excellent color print {Lorimar-Telepictures distributed it in the '90s, which Time-Warner later acquired}.

Today I looked at a friends horse and its not quite white, but a cremelo and out of the blue said, your horse looks like Snowfire. Then it i realized I hadnt said that name in over 45 years! I never watch tcm, only on occasion but tonight i accidentally found it and the movie Snowfire was just about to begin! Its because of Snowfire, flicka, and fury I have a love of horses and have had a horse most of my life!

[PooFlingingButtmunch]

It's sad that this actress only lived to be 18. What caused her death?

[garyandjane73]

@PooFlingingButtmunch

she died of cancer

[LItransplant]

For anyone who may still be interested, TCM is running this movie (at least that's what the guide says) on 5/17/11 at 2AM. If you get this channel set your DVRs!

[kaptainkidshow]

@LItransplant Now confirmed... SNOWFIRE will air on the TCM cable channel at 2:00 AM Eastern time before dawn on Wednesday May 18th.

Yes, the listing shows "May 17", but the airing is definitely before dawn on Wednesday.

Be sure to adjust the showtime to your own time zone.

I know this hasn't been on television for years, but that doesn't mean it's lost. A good place to ask/look is Warner Archive. They now own the rights to Allied Artists films, and have already released several. It's not too much to hope that they have materials on SNOWFIRE.

[mimisbabygirl1]

I remember this movie gowing up in the 60's, absolutely loved it!! Bought a copy of the film on ebay a year or so ago, and have watched it several times. I STILL love it!

[143AC]

I saw this film on tv..while I was on vacation with my family at a dude ranch in Stanfordville,New York in the winter of 1965

[snoozin97us]

It has been 51 years since I saw Snowfire in my then hometown theater. I was only 5 years old, but I remember looking up at the billboard and there was the most beautiful horse I'd ever seen. This movie has been embedded in my mind ever since and I have forever been searching for a way to get a copy. If this is all that I ever get to see before I die, I will be thankful!

[silkwood12000]

hey falks..i like horses and this is one of the first movies from horses i see..i llove it...i hope you understand

[IM4Pets]

If this clip is on the internet, why oh why can't we get the movie?

[luvs2cover]

i thank you so much for posting this i have not seen this sense i was small i loved it so much, i wish you could post the whole movie it really warms my heart and put tears in my eyes. thanks again.

[88xina]

wow - I'd forgotten all about this - I remember watching this at sat.morning pictures in the U.K. - i had a white plastic horse named Snowfire....lol...thanx for posting...

[anetnut]

OMG.....I have not seen this in over 40 years. I remember seeing this on TV as a kid, loving it and I wished for a horse like Snowfire when I'd blow out my birthday candles every year. I even remembered the theme song. Sadly I have never been able to get the horse I so badly wanted, but this brought back some fond memories of my childhood. I'm so glad I found it and thanks for posting it! I would love to get a DVD of it one day.

[sharcband]

this movie is now available on dvd and vhs just orderd my copy very excited!

[sugarbaire]

I would like to get a copy of this...where did you buy it?

[TheNukidondablock]

@sharcband I have looked for this movie for years. My wife doesn't even beleive it exists. I would love to copy of the DVD if it is really available.

[wolfstar23]

cool series

[SnowfireGal]

I have loved this movie since I was little and it greatly encouraged my love of horses (I have 2!). I have also searched high and low for a copy, with no luck. I love you Snowfire!

[rlpniew]

It is my understanding that WGN has the only print of this film. At least, that's the story on IMDB.

[MollyLovesSnowfire]

A late night TV broadcast from the 1980s, captured on full color home tape, is making the rounds, so keep checking the 'net for availability.

[RebelRadius]

I cried too !!

Likewise i have been wanting this video for many years.

(I would be furious if it has been cut or censored in any form).

[amadokk]

I, too, used to enjoy this positive, clean and wholesome movie on our beloved Family Classics with Fraizer Thomas. Like others, I have searched for this film for years. I look forward to purchasing the DVD and sharing with my own family.

I am so grateful to my late parents for having me sit with them and watch movies like this; those principles have never left me and I teach them to my family now. We sure need this type of movies now to feed the souls of our youth. God Bless you.

[cmcollies]

I've been relentlessly searching for this movie for YEARS!! I'm from Chicago and used to watch this on "Family Classics" with Frazier Thomas when I was little. I've tried to contact everyone connected with the film to "save" it because I heard the only copy was rusting away in some can in a Chicago Warehouse. I'm gettin' the DVD! - I don't care what it costs - In fact, I may buy 10 copies of it so my grandchildren will always be able to enjoy it too! THANK YOU!!!

[JoanneInVirginia]

How can I buy a copy of the DVD?!?! Yes, I defintiely remember watching Snowfire and how wonderful to see this again!!! Definitely one of my most favorite childhood shows.

[BUBSIE99]

What a delight to see this after fifty years of treasuring it in memory!!! Wonderful that its available on DVD!!!!

[adorem]

I want you to know that SNOWFIRE is commercial free! and the quality is quite good! I would rate the picture quality from 1 to 10, a 7and a half . its very watchable and the color is very nice too . This is the complete movie you all remember from seeing it years ago!! it has the scrolling words at the very start saying how Molly can talk to animals and especially Snowfire!! This is just how it ws played in theatres!! You just will not believe how great this DVD is!!

[adorem]

It is like a dream to finally be able to have this movie in its original color! So many fans of this movie are grabbing this movie up from the ioffer seller and he appears to be the only one on the planet who has this movie in color!! It sure feels like a dream to finally be able to own this movie in color as it sure seems that the studio will never release this on DVD. So, lets all enjoy this wonderful movie in its original color from the seller!

[adorem]

Well this is so great to FINALLY be able to see SNOWFIRE in its true color!! I have a poor quality black and white version that is too bright white and, to finally be able to have this movie in color is so wonderful! The seller on ioffer is sure getting lots of orders from all us fans of this movie!! This seller is the only person on the planet who has this movie in color!

[Tombique55]

The FINEST horse story EVER!!!!

Much thanks to you for posting it!
