  • Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken -- During the(G) reat Depression, a blind 15-year-old orphan (Gabrielle Anwar) convinces a crusty stunt-show owner (Cliff(R) obertson) that she can ride a speeding stallion and leap into a pool of water as their new horse diver -- from 40 feet above Atlantic City's famed Steel Pier. Director Steve Miner's spunky heroine overcomes various obstacles and a harrowing tragedy in an inspiring, fact-based movie that shimmers in sun-drenched cinematography. Fine family fare.(A-I) (G) ( 1991 )
