Equus

Movie (1977)

"I am yours and you are mine"

A psychiatrist, Martin Dysart, investigates the savage blinding of six horses with a metal spike in a stable in Hampshire, England. The atrocity was committed by an unassuming seventeen-year-old stable boy named Alan Strang, the only son of an opinionated but inwardly-timid father and a genteel, religious mother.

Movie Trivia/Goofs

→ View All
  • Movie Goof (revealing mistake): Some of the horses blinded in the final scene in the stable are obviously just puppets.
  • Colin Blakely was unable to accept a role of a Poilce Inspector in US TV film Spectre because he had been booked for this project.
  • Peter Firth had to turn down the title role in Caligola (1979) in order to make this film. The part went instead to his Aces High (1976) co-star Malcolm McDowell.
  • The film was considered groundbreaking at the time for the amount of full frontal male nudity by Peter Firth. Firth was shown completely nude three times in the film, and the final scene in the stable is one of the longest scenes of full frontal male nudity in any mainstream film. However, Firth's penis was not allowed to be shown erect at any time.
