Boy gets horse, boy loses horse, boy gets another horse

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.

But it's more than dogs and cats that Fury likes as the title indicates. Put it simply the star buys a horse, loses the horse, and then gets another horse. Between all that Fury gives us several numbers along with other musical acts.

Fury was considered the British Elvis Presley and the film is structured like an Elvis film except with a lot more numbers. In fact it's almost like a series of musical videos put together to tell a very slight story.

But people came to see him sing and Billy Fury's fans did get their money's worth. A film for folks who are nostalgic for the era and a chance for Americans to see him perform as he never quite made it over here.
