Thirty-four years after the release of National Velvet, MGM came up with this attractively filmed sequel. Tatum O'Neal stars as the niece of Velvet Brown, Elizabeth Taylor's character from the first film (the Taylor role is played herein by Nanette Newman, the wife of director Bryan Forbes). Like her aunt, O'Neal is horse-happy, and hopes to become an Olympic equestrienne. There are a few tense moments when O'Neal fails to measure up to her aunt's overexacting standards, and when the girl evinces jealousy concerning auntie's live-in love Christopher Plummer. But with the help of crusty old trainer Anthony Hopkins, O'Neal proves herself every inch the horsewoman that Velvet had been so long ago. Hal Erickson, Rovi

"International Velvet" is a much-underrated horse movie that grows on you with each viewing. Made in 1978, this film is a more worldly sequel to the 1944 children's classic "National Velvet," and stars a teenage Tatum O'Neal (Sarah Brown), solidly supported by Christopher Plummer as her Aunt Velvet's (Nanette Newman) love interest.
Plummer's character becomes mentor and father-figure to Sarah, helping Sarah realize her dream of entering her horse, Arizona Pi (son of her Aunt Velvet's horse, the Grand National-winning "Pi") in the Equestrian Olympics.
There are a few heart-tugging scenes along the way, aided by composer Francis Lai's lilting music score. One in particular is an emotive sequence involving an audience's reaction to a farewell appearance of "The Pi" at an indoor arena where he does a lap of honor.
