The Story of Seabiscuit is a 1949 film purportedly about the legendary racehorse. However, it is highly fictionalized, with a plot involving the romance between a horse trainer's niece and a jockey. Though shot in Technicolor, it does incorporate actual black and white footage of Seabiscuit in races.
