NATIONAL VELVET (1944) | Leading Ladies Series at the North Bend Theatre

When Velvet Brown (Elizabeth Taylor), an equine-loving 12-year-old living in rural Sussex, becomes the owner of a rambunctious horse, she decides to train it for England's Grand National race. Aided by former jockey Mi Taylor (Mickey Rooney) and encouraged by her family, the determined Velvet gets her steed, affectionately called "The Pie," ready for the big day. However, a last-minute problem arises with the jockey and an unexpected rider must step in as a replacement.

Every movie starts with a story at the North Bend Theatre. Just prior to each of the Leading Lady movies, our resident film expert, Kevin, will share the amazing stories behind these great films, giving you a whole new way to connect to the movie.
