On the same day her aunt informs her she will be sending her to an orphanage to ease the family’s burdens (and the constant stress of Sonora’s antics) she sees an ad for “diving girls” in the paper. Times are tough and she escapes her harsh reality by dreaming of being a star in Atlantic City. Sonora Webster is growing up in rural Georgia during the height of The Great Depression. The film was based on her memoir, A Girl And Five Brave Horses. A number of people who are initially at odds with each other eventually develop mutual respect and affection.Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken is a 1991 American film by Walt Disney Pictures starring Gabrielle Anwar, Michael Schoeffling, Cliff Robertson, Kathleen York, and Dylan Kussman, about the Horse Diver, Sonora W. Interpersonal conflict, and some slaps and punches to the head. A touch of very obscure suggestive dialog. Can she recover again? The answer is worth seeing.Ĭontent Notes: No profanity. Then, just when Sonora is on the brink of success, more tragedy strikes. Over time, almost everything changes for the better. When channeled correctly, her strong will is an asset rather than a liability.
Sonora knows enough to steer clear of Al’s cheap attentions and she loves working with horses, even if it’s only as a stable hand. So how did they tell this story in a believable yet G-rated manner? It wasn’t easy, but director Steve Miner (“ Forever Young”) managed to pull it off. Carver ( Cliff Robertson) is gruff and hard-driving and alienates everyone around him his son Al (Michael Schoeffling) is a gambler and woman-chaser who might even want to teach the underage Sonora a thing or two and the entrenched diving girl, Marie (Kathleen York), is snotty and very jealous of any competition. Carver’s stunt act (a horse climbs a 40-foot ramp, the girl mounts at the top and they dive together into a shallow pool). Instead, she sets out on her own, intending to become a “diving girl” in Dr. Stubborn and headstrong, she’s in trouble at school and in the home of her aunt and is about to be sent to a state institution. Outside of her love for horses, she doesn’t have much going in life. Sonora Webster is a young orphaned schoolgirl (played convincingly by 20-year-old Gabrielle Anwar) facing the height of the Great Depression in 1932. This film, based on a true story, reminds me of the old saw: When life hands you a lemon, make lemonade.
