The Brave One Overview:
The Brave One (1957) was a Drama - Family Film directed by Irving Rapper and produced by King Brothers Productions.
SYNOPSIS
Based on an actual incident in Spain where, in 1936, a bull was pardoned and returned to his owner following a valiant performance in the ring. The film's story is transposed to Mexico, where it focuses on Leonardo, a young boy who is devoted to a pet bull he saved from a flood. When the boy's ranch-owner father dies and his stock is sold at an auction, Leonardo's favorite animal is taken away to be trained for the fights, even as Leonardo desperately tries to procure a pardon from the President. He finally succeeds but too late - the bull has already entered into the corrida to face the famous matador Fermin Rivera. Both the beast and the bullfighter show such bravery and brilliance during their face-off that the crowd votes to spare the bull's life.
