THE PASSING SHOW
Disney's Small Outlaw
A Lad With Much Charm
By HARRY MacARTHUR
Walt Disney does leave his stamp on a motion picture. It Is
there unmistakably on "The Littlest Outlaw.” at the Plaza
Theater, even though this is a bit of a lightweight among Disney’s
live-action film Actions- It is there in the Technicolor photog
raphy. which makes this truly a visual treat. It is there in the
handling of a sentimental story not mawkishly but with sincerity
so that it achieves genuine,
warmth.
It is a boy-meets-horse story
recounted in the simplest of
terms that Producer Larry Lans
burgh (who also did the original
story) and Scenarist Bill Walsh
have to tell here. Once its char
acters are set by Director Rob
erto Gavaldon it becomes a long
chase sequence toward the inevi
table happy ending. It may even
pack some suspense for younger
members of the audience who
don’t know what a sure thing
this inevitability is.
The boy of “The Littlest Out
law." a lad named Pablito, is
Joy Carmody, drama editor of The Star,
is in Hollywood to receive the Screen
Directors' Guild oward as "Critic of
the Year." His column will resume
next month with a series of articles
from the movie capitol.
played by 10-year-old Andres
Velasquez, a Disney discovery
who would melt the heart of a
truant officer. The horse is a
general’s spirited Jumper named
Conquistador, sentenced to death
for refusing a jump and flinging
the general’s daughter into a
crippling fall.
** * *
This is a fate no horse Pablito
loves is going to face, so he and
the steed take off. Pablito’s step
father. the general’s groom, takes
off right after him. eager gun in
hand, since he has lost a lot of
money he doesn’t have betting
on the horse.
Disney is no man to let a film
bearing his name stack the odds
too heavily in favor of the vil
lain. however. Producer Lans
burgh sees to it that the groom
is pursued, too, keeping the men!
to whom he lost all those bets
handy for deus ex machina pur
poses at the stategic moment.
So the pursuit ambles across
Mexico. Pablito and Conquista
dor have quite a time of it. too.
They fall in with bandits, geti
away only to come into the
clutches of a railroad employe
who thinks there must be a price
on their heads and tries to turn
them over to the general. Elud
ing his trap, the two seek and
find brief sanctuary in a church.
The ultimate adventure of boy
arid horse comes after the steed

has been stolen by gypsies and

stolen in the first place.
** * *
“The Littlest Outlaw” has
been filmed In its natural Mexi
can locales and it is a scenic
masterpiece. Those who paint
with Technicolor cameras for
Disney are quite the artistic
equals of any other artists on
(his payroll They have achieved
some wondrously eye-appealing
effects here.
They are as good with animals
as with their splendid back
drops, too. Some of the views'
of Conquistador performing his
specialties turn motion into
sheer visual poetry.
Director Gavaldon has man
aged to linger over a picture
here and there that doesn’t do
much to advance the action, too,
without noticably damaging his
picture’s pace. This is a good
j trick if you can do it and Mr.
Gavaldon obviously can.
He also has worked in neatly!
some side events that are divert
ing if not integral. One of
these is a visit to a bull farm,,:
where the fighting bulls are bred.
; Another is a gala Mexican:
festival, complete with fire
works and brilliantly costumed
dancing in the streets. It all
lends quite a flavor to the chase.
** * *
Andres Velasquez plays the
Pablito role with a great deal
:of natural charm and is en
gagingly heart-tugging in his
unyielding devotion to his horse, j
The other major role in the film
is made most effective, too, by:
;Joseph Calleia, a seasoned
! Broadway and Hollywood arti
jsan.
’ Mr. Calleia plays the priest
: who befriends Pablito. lets him
hide his horse in the church,
then helps him find it again
after that gypsy has pilfered it.
He gets some genuine warmth
into the passages where he is
trying to decide what his proper
action should be and trying to
advise a strong-willed boy in
this matter of taking other peo
ple's horses.
The others in "The Littlest
Outlaw” are Mexican, which is
natural enough, and they are
fully authentic.
** * *
The companion piece to "The
Littlest Outlaw” at the Plaza is
1 a 20-minute animated featurette
titled "Johnny Appleseed." The
Disney story of the young man
who travels the frontierland
planting apple trees for miles
, around is quite a charmer, too.
