The Black Stallion/Trivia


 * Actor Allusion: Look closely and you'll see that the photograph of a young Henry is Mickey Rooney in National Velvet.
 * Based on a Dream: Flame was inspired by a dream the author had under anesthetic. Within the novel, it becomes the dream of Steve, the young man who eventually finds and tames Flame.
 * Dyeing for Your Art: In the film, the production team needed a solid black Arabian stallion. Instead, they found Cass Ole, who had a star and socks. Therefore, out came the dye.
