Two of my favorite actors. Fred MacMurray and Ann Baxter. Heart warming story. And of course Burl Ives singing. I grew up on movies like this. Drive-in movies, Saturday afternoon matinee. Admission 50 cents. Popcorn 15 cents with real butter. Soft drinks 10 cents and candy 5 cents. And great hot dogs. Two movies, a cartoon, news reel and coming attractions.

O yes the day's of our youth . The Care free days of summer never to be forgotten .now only a memory and relived as we watch the young play like We did with not a care in the world .

Those were the days my friend. Lol

A beautiful movie I stumbled upon, in my grief loosing my father today. A reunion in heaven, my mother and father together again. Married 65 glorious years. Two old dairy farmers, who raised us five kids on a dairy farm. My precious mum , was a excellent horse rider. From the age of 5, would ride a horse to and from school each day.

@@delwynhallett565 Praise God for His two devoted servants, your Mom and Dad, now happily in His presence. The love they shared with you and your siblings has endured as attested by their many years together. So thankful for you and your family and the example you all have set

[@togle184]

This movie is wonderful! So many good things to say about it. Great story and acting. The music alone, beautiful ballads sung by Burl Ives. Heart warming story line. You really get a feel about cowboys and their love and respect for horses. You will enjoy this movie a lot and always be happy you chose to watch it.

So ein wunderbares starkes wildes Tier. Dann kam der Mensch und wollte es mal wieder haben. Ein Elend. So wurde es gezähmt und zum menschlichen Gefährten umtrainiert. Mir hat der Hengst wild besser gefallen.

[@rongray4587]

I agree with everything you said, except most cowboys did not love and respect their horses. The ones that did, had a special bond with their horse. Nowadays, the smart people break their horses gently, and get them over one fear at a time and build on that. If broke right, you end up with an animal that trust you and bonds to you much like a good dog does.

[@monicaclark9581]

Beautiful voice of Mr Ives. The earliest of films I have seen him. The ending of the movie reminds me of a film made in the 90s, Black Beauty. A horse passed off to different owners and neglected. But finally found by accident by a former stable boy and now grown up and reunited with his beloved horse.

[@pipfox7834]

Black Beauty: first made when Elizabeth Taylor was about 12 years old. Her debut film in the 1940s I think... LIz has the role of befriending her

[@Endlichweihnachten]

...a wonderful flick...lot of time has been since me first saw it😢

[@joselopezmoya9786]

Beautiful ANN BAXTER, I remember her from the "TEN COMMANDMENTS " movie.

[@darkmoon69ful]

Thank you so much for re living some of my fondest memories. I was 13 when my dad n I saw this on saturday matinee. westerns were my dad's favorites n they became mine as well. Burl Ives became his favorite singer after this movie and our family got hooked on DOWN IN THE VALLEY because my father would play his guitar n sing🥰🥰🥰 Thank you for sharing this classic and Godbless.

[@user-ur6gb6cs4p]

loved this film very much. S. ALBERTA, CANADA

[@AngelCatBaby]

I love this, thank you for posting, but only thing that ruined it was the fact other music was made over the original song sung before or at the campfire. I used to own the book Smoky by Will James, fact is I had two of them, read them often. How I miss reading them, but they were lost many years ago and I haven’t been able to find them anywhere. Fact is, I had many books I used to read, I’d rather read books than play games on my computer. Technology is becoming overrated and irresponsible with people ….👍❤️🙏🏼

[@randyhebbebusche3644]

I read Smokey too, still have a paperback illustrated.

SOKEY THE INTELLIGENT HORSE .He is hero

[@errolinshanally8587]

I have decided to watch this movie for the first time....I love the Westerns ....I guess this one will not disappoint!! Looks great for now ....Audie Murphy had a movie , I believed called Six Black Horses !!

[@kathywiegand3729]

Great story and Burl Ives singing ; what a voice will be watching and listening again.!

[@kathyburke4153]

Great movie they don't make them like that anymore❤❤❤

[@user-vo4cd6gv1p]

Wonderful movie. It is really very hard to film such movies with animals. Hats off to all the crew member. Great❤

[@winonamassingill7895]

The dead mother reminds me of Bambi's mother. 😊

[@gpal6224]

A friend in need is a friend indeed. Excellent movie.

[@winonamassingill7895]

To the person who was wondering about the song Burl Ives was singing around the campfire it was something about him holding his love to keep her from the foggy foggy dew. 😊

[@pipfox7834]

Thanks...shame about the cut and dub 😮

Little smokies was so ful energy He liked to be obedient and After he went swimming he went for a run. When he was 4 months old tragedy struck. His mommy was dead and would soon be bloated Full of methane gas And she would explode if there were a forest Fire. Her eyes were blue... One blew east and the other blew west. This movie is too sad. I think im going to go cry.

[@rogermartin404]

OMG 😢

[@mariodavidlira7504]

Excellent story!

[@charlieswearingen500]

That's how the world was in Idaho when I was young. Many cowboys, packers, and wranglers were born in the late 1800s, and WWII had just ended. Electricity lines had not yet extended very far from towns to rural farms/ranches, and there were no such things as horse trailers and 4x4 pickups in those days. At the time, Idaho Power had a government program whose sole purpose was getting electricity to the more rural ranches. There were tractors and hay balers, but many farmers/ranchers still used horses to mow and Mormon Derricks to stack hay. We even used horse-drawn wagons when we picked up baled hay in the pastures and then stacked it near the barn. At the time, Idaho's population was just over 300,000. Now, there are that many folks in just the Treasure Valley. "Smokey" brought back a lot of memories for me...

[@jelicadjuric6541]

Beautiful film

[@user-hv5sc4rf1d]

This is a good movie my first time I seen the song Burl Ives sung made me shake in my boots

Good ol’ Burl Ives!

[@learningone7786]

Great movie.

[@user-gj4xl5wk5h]

While I loved Smokey.His best movie was Follow Me Boys with a very young Kurt Russell.

[@dave-in-nj9393]

it sure spoils a movie when they dub music over the sound track or cut the sound out all together.

[@edbruder9975]

I sure wish I coulda heard that first song Burl sang beside the campfire. I tried reading his lips. Was it the Blue Tailed Fly?

[@monicaclark9581]

​@@edbruder9975 You can find another channel that shares the same film with all original audio intact but terrible picture quality. Too hazy looking.

[@monicaclark9581]

​​@@edbruder9975 You can find another channel that offers the same film with all the original audio intact, but picture quality is bad. Very hazy looking. The upload is over 9 years old

[@AngelCatBaby]

I agree, I wish I could remember what that song was myself….its been a long time since I first seen this movie…👍

[@johnprice3414]

And it's the only time I ever seen this movie twice in a row, and was on both copies sure as heck hope dumbass' didn't hit up original... Truly just found a new favorite old western hell older them myself by a fair chunk 🤯👏🏼🥸

Singing was Great ❤

The parade scene was filmed in Tucson, AZ & up to a couple years ago was for the longest time billed as the longest non-motorized parade in the world 👍🏼😃

V good movie

[@marcio2031]

Belíssimo filme.

[@CaptainNavman]

Fred McM in serious movies was dynamic/

[@MrWoofie62]

Why did you overdub Burl Ives singing at 36:00 with modern instrumental guitar music? Burl Ives's singing is part of the movie!

[@pipfox7834]

Apparently, it is done to avoid copyright infrigements

[@fredcrown-tamir698]

The first cowboy movie I have seen where no bit was put into a horse's mouth, which never should ever be done. Bits were never needed to control horses.

[@Acelevi999]

He is a well trained movie horse ❤

[@edbruder9975]

Smokey was the best actor of the bunch! But what's going on with Burl Ives pants at 52:40?

[@winonamassingill7895]

This was supposed to be many years later and yet the girl and Fred McMurry looked basically the same as when the movie started. 😊😊😊😊😅😅😅😅😅

[@bethbartlett5692]

I can't an8de a movie that has a constant threat of hurting an animal. Fred has never been a favorite of mine, I cant say why, he's a fine actor, there's just something that always averts my desire to watch his films. "?"

Just. What i thought 😣

[@winonamassingill7895]

The part where Smokie is dragging Clint all the way back to the ranch with those guys following is ridiculous. The could have stopped him and help. And miss Julie too. 😮😮😮😮😮

[@dancingfilly7355]

Smokey wouldn’t allow anyone near Clint. He was truly a one-man-horse.

Having read the book several times....not the same story. Not even close.

POST MOVIES IN HD, BETTER THAT WAY.

[@Paul-lm5gv]

A good movie with top stars ruined by overdubbing totally inappropriate music at 36:15 that killed the movie soundtrack for almost 2 minutes! WHY?!

[@gumotx]

Song copyright issues I’m sure.

[@StanEby1]

Thanks for ruining the song about 35 minutes in. I immediately tuned out and sought the movie elsewhere.

[@Mindswamp]

Way too much Burl Ives, I guess his songs were fillers to increase the movie run time to over an hour.

[@suelidasgracas4781]

Porque não é legendado em português

[@johnprice3414]

I am so very very impressed with this I am truly having hard time to quit looking at to just WOWED.. I CAN'T believe this is second first time to have ANY POSITIVE visual for sure watching undoubtedly, but Mr Ives and the sound track I might have just been to young to of been watching but just listen/hearing but watching it truly is a time capsule MASTERPIECE ever thing the visuals 🤯 the coloring "Technicolor quality.😳🤯 Up to point of horse your looking for walks up to you and nudges you like WTF BRO FINALLY FOUND YA' and got rejected Well That was writer's block, not production creativity at such early production time capsule the sounds 'in back ground. and I have seen so much westerns I mean 🤯 even back to back still real tough to type text EXCEPTIONALLY EXCELLENT PRODUCTION great story (mostly) excellently put together, I am 58 y o western raised Rocky Mountain Westerner clean through modernly undomesticated western man. Even with what I hope is KZbinr not actually over original sound track . Because this was lining up to all time best's. like Lonesome Dove, Buffalo Girls, Sons Katy Elder, 310 Yuma "Ford", Rio Bravo . But took a real weak writer's crampon at # HELLO DIP+💩🦄🐓🍭🌬️⛄🌈🙊 OTHERWISE rock solid world class classic i can't fathom how this is undoubtedly first time again to watch but damn sure sounds so Mr. Ives so young, Quality line up.. BUTT that stomping your other brother too WHO "R" YOU writer wetting, crampon stinging🎈🌬️🦄🐓🍭☃️🌈🌬️🦩🦨🪱 damn near ruined a damn fine Ives' appearances I just watched twice BRAVO 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼.... Thanks KZbinr 🥸😷

[@sandyfreyman3501]

What in the US of a are they doing to beryl 🤯 ives. Dubbing over one of his songs? Awe that's too bad .

[@10_rds_Fire_For_Effect]

Whats with the false music dubbed over Burl Ives singing at 36:14 to 38:00? Ruined an entire segment of an otherwise good movie.

[@telmacosta6736]

Por favor não coloque filme em inglês, não sei nem o português.

[@ninajanik3775]

This movie shows the utter brutality that humans have toward animals. Rodeo is an awful and cruel spectacle sport that treats animals in a horrific fashion. It can be instructive to show the viewer the cruelty behind this spectacle, as well as the cowboy/ranching life, but it should not be presented as “family entertainment”. It is really a documentary of the terribly sad plight of horses in the old west.
