Product Description:
A man tries to solve a problem at work & with his daughter with a horse.Studio: Buena Vista Home VideoRelease Date: 02/03/2004Starring: Dean JonesRating: G
Amazon.com:
Dean Jones has a typical '60s occupation: ad man. Widower Fred Bolton is in need of a fantastic campaign to promote the stomach pill Aspercel. And in typical Disney get-a-kid-and-animal-in-there fashion, he makes the contrived decision to accommodate his sweet teen daughter Helen's longing for a horse, and advance the elusive ad campaign. Fred figures if he and Helen (Ellen Janov, in her only film role) can make a champion of the horse (now named, you guessed it, Aspercel), the name will get in the papers and Helen will have her horse.Complications arise when Helen reveals she hates riding in shows. Fortunately, her riding teacher, the beautiful Suzie Clemens (underratedDiane Baker), agrees to take up the cause, and sparks a little romance with the ambitious dad. The trio have a challenging competition and Suzie's ex, the wealthy and conceited Archer Madison (Lloyd Bochner, in a role he played often), to deal with, but as with all Disney films, good and earnest triumphs over smug and self-satisfied. Look for a young Kurt Russell, who has little to do but grace the movie (and Helen) with a little teen idolness. His introduction into the film--driving a red convertible MG--is hilarious. A sweet, easy-to-watch, harmless--if a little forgettable--film. (Ages 4 and older) --N.F. Mendoza

Rating: - Funny with some great jumping
This movie was funny with some great show jumping. Yeah, there was romance, ick! But mostly it focused on Aspercell ( i think that was the horses name.) it is one of my favorite horse movies!
Rating: - Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit
Product arrived right away. Just what I ordered. Great value. Great movie for all ages. Fun to see a young Kurt Russell and Dean Jones is a great comedic actor.
Rating: - One of the best horse movies
This is a fine, if dated, movie, and a great choice for a horse lover of any age. My seven year old has watched it again and again. She loves the slapstick elements as well as all the horsey scenes. I expect most kids would enjoy this movie, even if they aren't especially into horses. It's a good option for families looking for something different than the most current releases.
In addition to just being a nice bit of entertainment, it's full of equine history. The footage of the Washington ... Read More
Rating: - Great Movie
I love horses and remember seeing this movie when I was younger and just had to have it. Anything with Dean Jones in it is funny.
Rating: - Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit - Great family film!
I saw this movie as a child on the weekly Disney show. watched it at Christmas with a housefull of different ages and everyone enjoyed it! My oldest sister (over 50) couldn't stop saying how much she enjoyed it. We all had a good laugh and since we are a horse-oriented family, really enjoyed the theme. Thanks for still carrying these good old Disney movies.
