abstract:Phar Lap (also released as Phar Lap: Heart of a Nation) is a 1983 film about the New Zealand/Australian racehorse Phar Lap. The film starred Tom Burlinson and was written by famous Australian playwright David Williamson.
The overseas tour has inevitably drawn comparisons with PharLap, the legendary New Zealand-born stayer who became one of the earliest stars of the television age when he traveled to the Americas to seek his fortune after dominating Australian racing in the early 1930s.
