About this title: Though occasionally hampered by its tiny budget, The Great Dan Patch is a reasonably satisfying horse story. The title character was, of course, one of the greatest harness-race horses that ever drew breath. But since Dan Patch couldn't deliver dialogue or conduct an acceptable on-screen romance, the film concentrates on his owner, chemist David Palmer (Dennis O'Keefe).

Description: Dennis Oâ?Keefe, Gail Russell, Ruth Warrick, Charlotte Greenwood, Henry Hull, John Hoyt. New in new packaging. 1949 Run time: 92. The underrated, affable Oâ?Keefe and achingly beautiful Russell play second fiddle to legendary racing horse Dan Patch in this colorful drama, echoes of which have been seen in practically every horse-race movie since, including the recent Seabiscuit.
