 filmcritic.com Movie Review: The Rocking Horse Winner
The Rocking Horse Winner – based on a D.H. Lawrence short story – is a little like a long British version of The Twilight Zone.
Directed in 1949 by the almost completely unknown director Anthony Pelissier, the film is about a boy named Paul (John Howard Davies) who gets a rocking horse for Christmas, which gets him excited about horse racing.
At the same time seemingly unrelated events begin to unfold: The boy’s mother (Valerie Hobson) begins to display wanton materialism and a drive for money, which in turn begins to literally pervade the house in the form of reverberating voices which call for there to be more cash.
