The great African American character actor
Frank Silvera was afforded a rare movie starring role in the French short subject
The White Mane (
Crin Blanc) The title alludes to the film's actual protagonist, a courageous white stallion. Despite repeated attempts, the stallion steadfastly refuses to be captured and broken. There is a delicate fantasy element to the proceedings that might have been shattered had director
Albert Lamorisse extended the film beyond its perfect 38 minutes.
