ON SWIFT HORSES
Muriel and her husband Lee are beginning a bright new life in California when he returns from the Korean War. But their newfound stability is upended by the arrival of Lee’s charismatic brother, Julius, a wayward gambler with a secret past. A dangerous love triangle quickly forms. When Julius takes off in search of the young card cheat he’s fallen for, Muriel’s longing for something more propels her into a secret life of her own, gambling on racehorses and exploring a love she never dreamed possible.
“On Swift Horses is the kind of big, sweeping romantic drama that Hollywood just doesn’t make anymore.” – The Hollywood Reporter
“On Swift Horses presents a potent picture of the faultlines simmering below the American surface.” – Austin Chronicle
Spectrum was the brainchild of Bob Dutton, who sadly is no longer with us in person to enjoy these films, but his spirit is most definitely with us.
Bob was equal parts entertainer and educator, and both simultaneously. The entertainer in him would encourage us to soak in every element of these varied films – the cinematography, the rich settings – allowing ourselves to become immersed in their worlds – these characters, these stories. Then the educator in him would ask us lots of questions – which character did you most identify with? Which would you least want to be, and why? Could you imagine yourself in these situations and what would you do? Did any of your assumptions before the movie change after watching it?
That last question would be most important to him, as his goal for this series was Education through Entertainment. And we leave you with Bob’s favorite parting instruction – Be well, Do well…and enjoy the films.
Lovingly written by Molly Conole, his spouse
