Plot Summary
Marguerite Henry's beloved novel Misty of Chincoteague is given a charmingly old fashioned cinemadaptation in this 1961 second feature. David Ladd (son of Alan) plays a pre-teen boy who with his sister Pam Smith live with their grandparents on a Virginia coastal island. Each year, the local citizens celebrate Pony-Penning day, when they round up the wild ponies on the neighboring islands to sell them at auction. Ladd and Smith capture a mare known as "Phantom" because it has never previously been corralled by the locals. The kids hope to buy Phantom's colt Misty, but are disheartened when a stranger purchases both colt and mare. With the help of the sympathetic townspeople, a happy ending is secured.

My daughters were not only involved in the story they were greatly impressed by the values expressed.
Ms. Henry's book is retold quite well with each character bringing a different reason to contribute.
Both of my girls were impressed by Paul and Maureen's willingness to work for what they valued.
iTunes would do well to acquire more films like this one.
