Rarely do you get a film that can be appreciated by such a wide audience. Except for some barroom brawling at the movie's beginning, there is little reason "50 to 1" cannot be enjoyed by all ages, since there is no nudity, sex, or other than a fistfight, violence. The horse, "Mine That Bird" has an amusing personality, and the real life jockey, Calvin Borel is a joy to watch. I did not find the film to be overly dramatic, although cheering for the long shot in the big race is permitted. There is absolutely no gambling angle to this movie, other than a few bar bets, and the authentic feel and excitement of the Kentucky Derby is a highlight. Recommended for everyone who likes to root for the underdog. - MERK
