'I've Gotta Horse' (1965) – Kenneth Hume.
Avid Billy Fury fans, musical comedy freaks, and rabid equestrians can rejoice at the plentifully playful whimsicality of this delightfully gaudy, colourful musical frippery from stalwart British film-maker director Kenneth Hume. Not exactly great, intellectually edifying cinema, but at its best, 'I've Gotta Horse' is most certainly boisterously fun, and enormously frothy entertainment, and sometimes that's all I need, mayte! While Undeniably camp and uproariously silly, this consistently carefree, frequently good natured 1960s lark is a good shout for lovers of free-spirited, sweetly saccharine vintage musical cinema, since they are bound to be swept up in all the windswept and whacky whirligig herein, effortlessly charmed by all the amusingly retrograde horseplay, and finally beguiled by the joyfully orchestrated lemonade sweet,family-friendly song and dance shenanigans at the grand finale! Happily, Billy Fury didn't give up his day job, but his dark-haired vivacious co-star Amanda Barrie is a blissfully buxom, wonderfully comedic delight! So there's no need for a long face if you've seen 'I've Gotta Horse' (1965) And that's a pretty nifty little song an' all!
