I've
Gotta Horse (1965)
Synopsis: Billy Fury, one of
Britain's answers to Elvis back in the 1960s, deserved better than this dumb
confection, which failed to do for him what similar threadbare flicks did for
Cliff Richard. Coronation Street fans might enjoy watching Amanda Barrie in her
movie heyday, and connoisseurs of trivia will note that the director Kenneth
Hume was married to Shirley Bassey at the time, while dedicated followers of
fashion can admire the 1960s clothes.
However, nothing can take your
mind off the terrible plot, as singer Fury misses rehearsals to watch his
racehorse run in the Derby. If you care, the title was the catchphrase of
colourful racetrack tipster Ras Prince Monolulu, a now-forgotten minor
celebrity of the period.
Cast: Billy Fury, Amanda
Barrie. Runtime: 92 min
