I've Got A Horse was a film set to display the talents of its star Billy Fury together with several other British bands of the 60s and the gimmick on which the picture is based is its star's real life and well publicized love for animals. If Fury were alive today he'd probably would have had a place like Doris Day has for dogs and cats in Carmel.
This is a neat little film with plenty of music and dancing featuring Billy Fury and Amanda Barrie. It is set in the musical 60s in the UK and the majority of the filming was done on the East coast in Norfolk along with some scenes at Shepperton Studios and Epsom Racecourse.
The title is borrowed from a racing tipster well - known at tracks all over the country who called himself Ras Prince Monolulu which,I'm fairly sure was not his real name.He cut a flamboyant figure with flowing robes and a headdress of ostrich feathers.
This is a very pleasant and happy and therefore nostalgic movie. It is simply wonderful for children of about eight and upwards.
I watched this film with my grandson who's 7 and he loved it, for a film made in 1965 it still has a lot of catchy tunes but the thing my grandson loved most was all the animals. billy fury is on top form what a great voice he had.
I watched the film with great intent on seeing the fabulous BILLY FURY , being a life long BILLY FURY fan I watch all the films and footage I can of him . Billy had such a gentle nature and he was best with himself when he was with animals.
