My Old Man

Based on Ernest Hemingway's short story, "My Old Man" is a heart-wrenching story about luckless horse trainer, Frank Butler (Warren Oates), who is granted a second chance to mend his broken relationship with sixteen-year-old daughter Jo (Kristy McNichol). A compulsive gambler, Frank introduces Jo to the racing circuit, and for once, luck smiles down upon him. Frank wins big at the track and buys Jo a horse with the intention of racing him. When he's injured by the horse right before its debut in a big race, it seems like Frank's luck has prematurely run out, and young Jo is left to saddle the burden of the big race alone.
