I've Gotta Horse

About This Movie

I've Gotta Horse is a quirky blend of comedy and music that showcases Billy Fury, who plays a fictionalized version of himself. The film moves at a brisk pace, keeping the humor light and breezy, but it also reflects Fury’s genuine affection for animals, particularly his racehorse Anselmo and his dogs, which adds a personal touch. There's a sort of whimsical charm throughout, with the practical effects and real-life animal antics providing a unique backdrop for Fury's musical numbers. It's not often you see a pop star's love for his pets take center stage this way, making it distinct in the landscape of mid-60s British cinema.

I've Gotta Horse has seen limited releases over the years, with various formats like VHS and DVD surfacing occasionally, but original prints are quite scarce. Collectors have shown interest mainly due to Billy Fury’s cult status and the film's unique premise that intertwines his musical career with his adoration for animals. It's an interesting piece of British pop culture from the 1960s that shares a slice of Fury's life, making it a curiosity for those who appreciate niche cinema.
