Now I
have a question for you Arabian Horse historians. How can they cast doubt
on the character of Lady Davenport like that? Wasn't she a real person? You
just don't make up an "entertaining story" about a real person, then
suggest they'd cheat and offer to sleep around. I think they *really*
crossed the line there.
There was a Lady Anne Blunt and the was a Homer Davenport who both brought
horses from the Bedouins. Whoever wrote the screen play obvious had some
knowledge of this because "Lady Davenport" said she owned the Queen of Sheba in
the movie... Lady Anne Blunt did own the Queen of Sheba.
Personally I found the whole movie dumb. After a 3000 mile race with almost
no water, why would he run his horse into the ocean where he cannot drink? That
was one of only very dumb parts to the movie.
