About this episode

In this captivating episode of Luxe Radio Theatre, we are transported to the enchanting world of "National Velvet," a story of dreams, determination, and the bond between a girl and her horse. Mickey Rooney stars as Mi Taylor, a young man returning from service, alongside Elizabeth Taylor as Velvet Brown, and Donald Crisp as Mr. Brown. Set in a quaint English village, the narrative unfolds as Velvet wins a horse named Pie in a raffle and dreams of entering him in the prestigious Grand National. With the help of Mi, who battles his own fears and past, Velvet embarks on a journey of training and perseverance, driven by the belief in Pie's potential for greatness.

The episode beautifully captures the themes of ambition and courage, as Velvet's unwavering faith in her horse leads her to defy societal norms and enter the race herself. Supported by her family and the enigmatic Mi, Velvet's story is one of youthful determination and the pursuit of one's dreams against all odds. As the race unfolds, the stakes are high, and the emotional journey of the characters is both inspiring and heartwarming, making this episode a memorable tale of triumph and the spirit of adventure.
