It’s a guilt-free way for the filmmakers to glorify Sonora’s “heroism. The horses’ terror gets short shrift the implication is that they like to dive. It should be noted that, although a mechanical horse was used for the diving sequences, the film doesn’t go out of its way to condemn a stunt that’s still not unheard of in county fairs and carnivals.
Robertson does the only real acting in the movie, although his bewhiskered make-up job recalls Lon Chaney Jr. She never gets too tomboyish, though the filmmakers have been careful to provide Sonora with an adoring suitor (Michael Schoeffling), the son of the embittered grouch (Cliff Robertson) who owns the traveling show. The real-life Sonora, an Atlantic City headliner in her day, must have had spunk to burn, and Gabrielle Anwar tries to liven things up with some spunk of her own. In fact, Sonora’s diving leads to a mishap, at which point the film, which has been puttering along in the bland-rambunctious family-fare mode, suddenly turns weepy-inspirational. Maybe her heart can’t be broken, but her neck seems to be in constant jeopardy. From a height of 40 feet, she bestrides a galloping horse and plunges into a tank of water. Released May 24th, 1991, 'Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken' stars Gabrielle Anwar, Cliff Robertson, Michael Schoeffling, Dylan Kussman The G movie has a runtime of about 1 hr 28 min, and. Sonora Webster (Gabrielle Anwar), a young orphan growing up in Depression-era Georgia, ditches her uncaring aunt and joins up with a traveling stunt show as a diving horse girl. When he gets stuck in a broken elevator with Miller Jones, the kid who fell asleep in his lecture, he figures things cant get worse. The name of the film is “Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken,” and that’s also the message of the film.
