In the summer of 1947 Lewis Milestone produced and directed a motion picture named The Red Pony for Republic Pictures, in Technicolor, starring Myrna Loy, Robert Mitchum, and child actor Peter Miles. The music for the movie was composed by Aaron Copland, who also arranged a suite for orchestra from the film score. Copland recorded this music for Columbia Records in London in 1975. The film was released in 1949.
Another film version was made for television in 1973, starring Henry Fonda and Maureen O'Hara.[6] Jerry Goldsmith won his first Emmy for the score, which was released in a limited edition by Varèse Sarabande in 2012.
