Editorial Review:
Description: Everyone will cheer Walt Disney Pictures presentation of this captivating real-life story of Sonora Webster's determination and courage -- now on DVD. A runaway orphan, young Sonora (Gabrielle Anwar) persists for a menial job mucking stables in Doc Carver's traveling stunt show. Her great wish is to become a death-defying 'diving girl,' but Doc (Cliff Robertson) refuses her pleas. Undaunted, Sonora's gutsy resolve finally convinces him to give her a break. On the brink of stardom, however, a cruel twist of fate threatens to destroy her dream. With the help of a loving friend (Michael Schoeffling), Sonora must prove that if you want something badly enough, anything is possible!
Amazon.com: This charming Disney live-action picture is a genuine sleeper. It's a variation on the old boy-runs-away-to-join-the-circus story, except this time the boy is a girl. After she joins a traveling show in the 1930s, spunky teen Sonora Webster (Gabrielle Anwar) learns the ropes and eventually lands a plum role in the program: riding a horse off a 40-foot-high diving board into a tank of water. Well, Sonora thinks it's a plum, anyway. Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken has the usual love interest, a brush with tragedy, and some worldly wisdom (the latter doled out by old pro Cliff Robertson, in a nice role as a crusty barnstormer). What makes the movie memorable is the performance of the lovely Gabrielle Anwar, the doe-eyed actress who later danced the tango so memorably with Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman. The movie may be sappy--no surprise with that title--but Anwar provides bright star wattage and a plucky role model. --Robert Horton

This is a great love story. It is very touching and shows people that one can go after their dreams and get them. The love story between two people is a bonus behind the real love story of loving yourself enough to follow your dreams!

Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken This is a good movie but leaves out so much of the real story of Sonora Webster Carver. Sonora's book, "A Girl and Five Brave Horses" is a must read if you can find a copy. The best thing about "Wild Hearts" is that it has gotten people interested in Sonora, a wonderful woman who has inspired many. For those who are interested, there is a group of us who are trying to get the book republished. Go to: Yahoo groups and type in divinghorses. Join us and learn more about ... Read More

When I was a child my Dad rented this movie fore me, because I was in love with horses. Well I fell in love with this emotional and inspiring movie. It became my all time favorite movie... I made my Dad rent it over and over again. Now as an adult I still can't get enough of it, I enjoy it everytime I watch it. The fact that it was based on a true story really gets me everytime. If you haven't seen this movie then you are missing out big time!
