Romance of a Horsethief (French: Le roman d'un voleur de chevaux; Italian: Il romanzo di un ladro di cavalli; Serbo-Croatian: Romansa konjokradice) is a 1971 French-Italian-Yugoslav adventure film directed by Abraham Polonsky.

[1][2] In Polish Russia, Stoloff, a Cossack in exile has gained control over a Jewish village.

Stoloff's regime is tolerated until he commandeers the village's horses for the Russian army.

[3] Polonsky called the film "a fairytale, pretending to affect an older style but in fact the contrary.

"[4] The Los Angeles Times called the film "impressive... a rollicking folk tale.
