Movie Haiku:Does not meet criteria: Spielberg goes to war once again, & once again, war is Hell. This time, the heroes are sweet farm boy "Albert Narracott" of Devon (Irvine) & his horse "Joey." Albert teaches Joey to love humans & this is both a blessing & a curse as Joey endures the horror of WWI trench warfare. But everything is sentimental to a fault. What a disappointment.
