Drama starring Myrna Loy and Robert Mitchum, based on a screenplay
adapted by John Steinbeck from his early novel of the same name.
Ten-year-old Tom Tiflin (Peter Miles) lives on a ranch in
California's Salinas Valley with his mother (Loy),
recently-returned father (Sheppard Strudwick), maternal grandfather
(Louis Calhern) and handsome hired hand Billy Buck (Mitchum). In an
attempt to get closer to his son after his long absence from the
ranch, Tom's father gives him a much longed-for pony. But as the
pony becomes the central focus of Tom's life, the family is driven
apart as Tom turns to Billy for help with rearing it.
Whose fault is it that the artist counts for so little in the
public mind? Has it always been thus? Is there something wrong,
perhaps, with the nature of the art work being created in America?
Is our system of education lacking in its attitude toward the art
product? Should our state and federal governments take a more
positive stand toward the cultural development of their citizens?
These are some of the provocative questions which Aaron Copland
raises and answers in Copland on Music.
