10/10
Set in England, it features a pop star, played by real life singer Billy Fury, who enters his horse in Britains most famous race, the Derby.

This is a very pleasant and happy and therefore nostalgic movie. It is simply wonderful for children of about eight and upwards. There's lots of animals in the movie with some very attractive dance scenes, and although there's not much of a story line, as it features, in the lead, Billy Fury, who was, in the fifties, sixties, and seventies one of Britain's best musical stars, the music in the movie is well above average. Fury was the owner of the racehorse Anselmo so there is some basis to the story that the movie portrays: a pop star and his horse. The movie was released in 1965 and unfortunately looked dated in comparison to the Beatles' "A Hard Day's Night" to which, in comparison, it seemed antiquated, however, there is nothing offensive in "I've got a Horse" which makes it all the more endearing in this day and age. Fury passed away, from heart disease, in 1983, however, interest in him has never waned and plans are being made to film his life with Johnny Depp playing the title role.
