I live in Philadelphia. A friend of mine said he saw the most beautiful woman with the most beautiful eyes on Sansom St. He later found out that’s where Eddie Fisher’s mother lived and it was Liz Taylor he saw, who was visiting her mother in law.
I have always loved this movie. It is a simple and beautiful story, well told and delivering a most valuable lesson in the appreciation of a hugely important and vital aspect of the human spirit - that to have dreams and hopes, though they may seem as total folly to others, is a potent driving force that potentially advances not only an individual, but all of mankind. Liz Taylor was a physically beautiful girl and grew into an even more beautiful woman. Her acting though, at such an early stage in her career, was rarely if ever bettered.
What a charmer! Stupendously beautiful, even as a child star, hard-working & best of all a brave &beautiful spirit & heart. There will never be anyone remotely like this stunning creature.

Национальный бархат-лучший фильм, который я обожаю смотреть постоянно и он никогда не надоедает, а только дарит радость, счастье,уют, гармонию. В этом фильме прекрасно всё: великолепная писательница Энид Багнольд, по роману которой создан этот фильм.А также в фильме великолепные Элизабет Тэйлор и Микки Руни и все остальные актёры тоже великолепны! Они просто живут в кадре.Прекрасная режиссура, мы полностью погружаемся в чудесный и милый мир прошлого, в мир настоящего человеческого счастья и искренних чувств.Обожаю этот фильм, он лучший!
Yesterday .....saturday 10.april. 2021....history was made ....at Aintree Liverpool.....Rachael Blackmore won the Grand National.... the first female jockey to achieve that....with the horse Minella Times. In a humble way, she says after the race that gender wasnt a point at all....she thanks the fantastic horse and a very clever trainer. A true champion speaks like that. Respect from Trondheim Norway....(and somewhere...i hope... Elizabet Taylor smiles....
Elizabeth Taylor in this movie inspired me as a young girl to become the horsewoman that I am today. She was an excellent rider in "National Velvet" My favorite Horse Movie of all time. I read that the studio gave Pie to her after the wrap.
This was the movie that made ELIZABETH TAYLOR a star.....but at a cost. I heard she fell off the horse and had a back injury. And this was at a time when medical science did not know how to treat such an injury.
i always loved this movie and thought elizabeth taylor was so beautiful and such a great actress. she will be missed. may she rest in peace. great tribute to a wonderful lady.
This has always been one of my favorite MGM movies of all time. Saw it in 3rd grade and have been in love with it since. I can't believe how huge of an age difference there was between Mickey Rooney and Elizabeth Taylor during filming!!
@@robertcarldecker Hello sir, Quite agree with you. I first saw this film in 1974 and was totally overwhelmed and thought it Momentous. Acting was tremendous n Light years ahead of today s overrated ego driven lot. Must say i found the re make only fair.Also liked Wizard of oz and The Sound of Music. Kind regards Glynn n greetings from Stourbridge West Midlands UK 🤝
Elizabeth should've played the grown-up Velvet in International Velvet but as I recall Liz wasn't signed in the MGM contract anymore. It would've been exciting if she played Velvet Brown once more :)
Great point! Yes. I've often referred to the character of Evie in 1999's The Mummy as a strong but feminine character. This movie is another great example.
You mean a strong female character doesn’t need short hair or look like a guy and kick 250 pound men in the air ? Or better yet be trans? No such this and feminine anymore to these shells. Disney is through the looking glass today. Strong female characters are worthless, strong characters that are female are forever memorable.
Surely most can remember they first time they saw elizabeth taylor just as well as where they were when the heard that JFK or lady diana died? I'm 50 and can remember watching this when I was a boy of around 9 years old and getting my first butterflies in my stomach feeling looking at a girl, all very innocent of course. Sweet jesus what a creature, and later realising just how good an actor she was too.
@@markteele22 which jumps were bad? They all look like jumps I've seen in competitions. Granted, someone so young and untrained shouldn't be doing them.
Great video. Funny, Liz Taylor - the first shocker of the Golden Age Hollywood broke the hearts of men, changed men. But temptress Liz began her children's films "Lassie come back.... old good Hollywood
Thank you!!! This made me cry to watch it, how moving, and how talented and beautiful Elizabeth Taylor was even as a child. I'm getting up early tomorrow morning just to watch National Velvet on Turner Classic Movies, 7:30 a.m. EST ,Sunday, April 10, 2011. I can't wait!
This was/is such a heart warming film and shot in color makes it even sweeter. My sisters also watched the tV series, I believe was called International Velvet.
Non ho fatto in tempo a vederlo . E penso che se hanno cominciato da lì si vedranno tutti i suoi film. Ora che ho la mia età capisco che coraggio ha avuto da bambina. Gareggiare una gara seria Liz è Liz
On this day in 1944 {December 14th} the Elizbeth Taylor/Mickey Rooney movie "National Velvet" had its world premier in New York City... It was nominated for five Academy Awards; and won two {'Best Film Editing' and 'Best Supporting Actress' for Anne Revere}... One of the movie's star, Arthur Treacher, passed away exactly 31 years later on Dec. 14th, 1975 at age 81... R.I.P. Mr. Treacher, Ms. Taylor {1932 - 2011}, and Mr. Rooney turned 92 years old this past September 23rd...
No, there was a series called 'National Velvet'. "International Velvet' was a 'sequel' featuring Nanette Newman as the grown-up Velvet Brown, who took charge of her niece, played by Tatum O'Neal.
That makes me wanna play the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Tears of the Kingdom, Breath of the wild, Ocarina of time again after seeing the pie already.
Me and my mom had a running joke based off this movie, if we woke up feeling like we needed coffee to survive we would say I was sick all night... like the little boy said lol.
correct me if i'm wrong but i think elizabeth was the only one who could ride that horse among the film crew which was given to her after filming the movie. the horse would not want anyone ride on his back but elizabeth tamed the horse
Your right I only realised after I typed up my comment but left it as was. The sequel would have been better if Elizabeth Taylor played the grown up. You get attached to an actor playing the character. At least I do. Thanks for the pick up. Someone read what I wrote wow.
It's not this movie I wish for....it's for the American culture of the late 1940s I want to come back. America's true Golden Age. Our decline began shortly thereafter.
It does sound like Elmer Bernstein.... besides so many John Wayne movies and To Kill a Mockingbird.. I think he also scored Animal House and Meatballs.../ however..This music is from City Slickers
I wonder if stretching her spine to grow taller for the role after having been told she was too short made her vulnerable to the back injury she sustained and which plagued her lifelong.
Yes I remember seeing her when I was only 10 and her eyes were the most beautiful I had ever seen
Violet i believe.

That's so sad.
Idve been about 10 to,...oh her beautiful eyes, that were violet in colour, pretty child teenager & gorgeous woman, a very elegant lady.
she's so beautiful.... I love her eyes
She wasn't supposed to be beautiful. Enid Bagnold's Velvet was a plain child, and definitely had no budding bosom.

Xxx
when I was a child I saw the film and I fell in love with this girl .... hahaha !!!
Violet!
Excellent. Magnificent combination of music and images.
Aww. This was so nice. You did a perfect recap of the movie in less than 5 mins. Liz Taylor was truly a treasure.

She is really magnificent, her beauty is beyond this world. She is like an angel.
Wonderful compilation of the film's scenes, beautifully edited. A lovely and moving tribute.

This has always been one of my favorite MGM movies of all time. Saw it in 3rd grade and have been in love with it since. I can't believe how huge of an age difference there was between Mickey Rooney and Elizabeth Taylor during filming!!
+Sahra Elizabeth Taylor was about 11 years old at the time of filming, whereas Mickey Rooney was well into his early to mid 20s!!!
Maybe you would like to read the book it was based on, and you'll see how different it was.

I agree. This is definitely my all-time favorite Elizabeth Taylor movie.

Elizabeth what a great sister i have, love her brother isaac Taylor i miss u sister
Disney take notice. This is a strong female character. Strong yet totally feminine

Who could not love this !?
Many thanks to whoever put this together and put it up so quickly.

Sweet jesus what a creature, and later realising just how good an actor she was too.
Her jumping on horseback in this movie scares me. There’s a reason why nobody teaches you to jump like this anymore.
And it looks like she did the stunts herself.
The horse threw her and she broke her back. She recovered quickly however it led to chronic back pain later in life.
@@markteele22 which jumps were bad? They all look like jumps I've seen in competitions. Granted, someone so young and untrained shouldn't be doing them.
@@tanyawieczorek6603Afaik she did. She had been riding since she was 5...back in England.
@@markteele22In any case she was born with scoliosis. So she already had a bad back.
great work, really nice! Always loved this movie.

Her face is absolutelly beautiful. The most beautiful woman who ever lived.
I have this movie on DVD. One of my favorite movies of all time. I really want to watch it again on my iPod.

Great show.

Elizabeth Taylor forever yesssssssssssss
She looks like a real life snow white :) and the music for this is very pretty.

Yes my Elizabeth Taylor ORIGINAL BRO💃🚶 🐎🌲🌴🌳🌱🌳🌲🌴
que belleza! me encantaba esa serie! linda Elizabeth T! lindos actores! da nostalgia ver esto!
He was a Piebald!!
MY FAVORITE ELIZABETH TAYLOR FILM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Elizabeth Taylor earned $100 a week for this film 📽️🎥
Yep, City Slickers score. Good stuff.
Me and my mom had a running joke based off this movie, if we woke up feeling like we needed coffee to survive we would say I was sick all night... like the little boy said lol.

Unbelievably gorgeous. What 10 year old looks like this ???
Elizabeth Taylor. Best looking woman, ever.
Anybody here because of Joe Rogan and gaven de Becker ? Lol. Great podcast that was.
Your right I only realised after I typed up my comment but left it as was. The sequel would have been better if Elizabeth Taylor played the grown up. You get attached to an actor playing the character. At least I do. Thanks for the pick up.
Someone read what I wrote wow.
I just read what you wrote...albeit 3 years later lol
Music is from City Slickers..I actually like it!
That sitting jump looks so weird. I don’t know when two point position became a thing, but I’m glad for it.
I agree, it was scary to watch. She was so far behind.
It's not this movie I wish for....it's for the American culture of the late 1940s I want to come back. America's true Golden Age. Our decline began shortly thereafter.
lassie come home! ohh poor lassie
Esse foi o primeiro filme de Elizabeth Taylor? Foi também o primeiro filme de Mickey Rooney? Alguém sabe responder?
My mom met Mickey Rooney once
I would like see this film! It is on DVD??
Mitch Robbins : Hi Curly. Killed anyone today?
Curly : Day ain't over yet...
Great music. Sounds a bit like something one would hear in a John Wayne movie.
It does sound like Elmer Bernstein.... besides so many John Wayne movies and To Kill a Mockingbird.. I think he also scored Animal House and Meatballs.../ however..This music is from City Slickers
That music is from City Slickers.
This is a much better movie than international velvet.and the pie is a gelding, so how is he Arizona pie's father? Hahahaha
Lol I never noticed that 😅 good catch
Mickey was throwing her some stick while she was illegal... Allegedly.
Liz Taylor was a naughty naughty girl.
@storyjan ahh but it was actually filmed in pebble beach
0:38 hello miss violet eyes...:)
Just don’t make movies like this anymore. Beautiful music
The perfect face is Elizabeth Taylor
Classic t.v.
National velvetin tamamini turkce olarak lütfen verebilirmisiniz saygilarimla
@wyomingmali Ah... but it was filmed in Hollywood ;)
is this actual footage of her getting injured?
I wonder if stretching her spine to grow taller for the role after having been told she was too short made her vulnerable to the back injury she sustained and which plagued her lifelong.
okay seriously, did she not remember to go into her half seat going over the jumps?!
+battousaiblade Thats not how people rode during her time.. Jumping started out as a sport performed by people in the military.
That's what I was thinking. Terrible jumping seat lol. But then I remembered that jumps racing is altogether different than 3-day or show jumping.
@MrSukMeSideWayz
aahhh but it was filmed in of heaven-3
