Who Was the Fabulous Black Horse?
Does anyone know who was Ustinov's fabulous black Andalusian horse that did the scenes with the metal leg? What a beauty, and what a great trick!

shareHmmm, judging from your familiar comments about Feldman and the way you've phrased the question, one might wonder if you were fishing for a compliment...
Nevertheless, watching Geste for the first time in almost thirty years, three thoughts come to mind:
--The script really was as good as I remembered it to be.
--Peter Ustinov has been very much overlooked as a comic actor.
--Holy hackamore, how did they get that horse to walk with that stunt leg? Being ridden no less.
I'm no great aficionado of equestrian stunt work, but I've never known a horse that would tolerate being so encumbered.
