  • The Red Pony (1973) (TV)

    The Red Pony is an episodic novella written by
    American writer John Steinbeck in 1933.
    The first three chapters were published in magazines from 1933–1936
    and the full book was published in 1937 by Covici Friede.
    The stories in the book are tales of a boy named Jody Tiflin.
    The book has four different stories about Jody and his life
    on his father's California ranch.
    Other main characters include Carl Tiflin - Jody's father;
    Billy Buck - an expert in horses and a working hand on the ranch;
    Mrs. Tiflin - Jody's mother; and Jody's grandfather - Mrs. Tiflin's father,
    who has a history of crossing the Oregon Trail,
    and enjoys telling stories about his
    experiences; Gitano - an old man who comes to die at the Tiflin ranch.
    Along with these stories, there is a short story
    (taken from one of Steinbeck's earlier works, The Pastures of Heaven)
    at the end of the book titled "Junius Maltby."
    However, this last story is omitted in the edition published by Penguin Books.


    Lewis Milestone produced and directed a 1949 motion picture
    of the same name for Republic Pictures in Technicolor,
    starring Myrna Loy, Robert Mitchum, and child actor Peter Miles.
    The music for the movie was composed by Aaron Copland,
    who also arranged a suite for orchestra from the film score.
    Copland recorded this music for Columbia Records in London in 1975.
    Another film version was made for television in 1973,
    starring Henry Fonda and Maureen O'Hara.
