5.0 out of 5 stars VHS Horse of course, February 22, 2003

This review is from: Horse in Gray Flannel Suit [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a great family film from the Disney Studio. A fun adventure with Dean Jones, without as much slapstick as his other Disney outings. A little adventure, big dose of comedy, with some romance thrown in while a single father has to sort out his priorities.

Jones is an advertising executive that is stuck between an employer who is pressuring him for a jazzy new ad campaign, and being a single parent of a daughter that desperatley wants a horse. He is not to keen on horses, the high cost of the riding instructions she is attending, or even the riding instructor. Of course the instructor (Diane Baker) feels his daughter is a fantastic rider and should actually compete. He is strongly opposed to the extra cost and the let he fears his daughter will have.

Through a few twists, suddenly the 2 needs meet and he not only buys a horse but lets his daughter enter it in shows. But he really does it to promote an ad campaign and figures out a way to have his clients pay for it. Meanwhile his daughter develops a love interest in another horseman, a very young Kurt Russell. And Dad begins to fall for the instructor he hates. Dianne Baker and Dean Jones have a wonderful chemistry.

Just a side note, this is also available on DVD. But the DVD version that is on sale at this time does NOT include widescreen, or remastered, or have any extras, which is a big dissapointment. So BUY THIS VHS version, until a nice version of the DVD is released that earns the higher cost.

4.0 out of 5 stars Full Screen Sucks ......... most of the Time!, March 3, 2004

This review is from: The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit (The Kurt Russell Collection) (DVD)

DVD Movies have many great features: great picture quality, making of documentaries, trailers and much more. However my favorite feature would have to be "Widescreen". So that is why I was so disappointed when I found out this movie was full screen. I bought this movie anyways, because at less I could replace my old faded VHS tape with superb color and sound and it did. However it did more than that. Upon closer comparison I noticed that was getting a lot more picture on the top and bottom and left and right of the screen!!!! On my 32 inch TV it's about and extra inch and a half more picture around the out side of the screen compared to my VHS tape. I was overjoyed and delighted by this discovery. So don't be too hasty in judge this movie if you love widescreen. Give it a chance it will be sure to please.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT old movie!!!!!!, July 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Horse in Gray Flannel Suit [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I know, I know another sappy old movie, but this movie is anything but. I'm 12 yrs old and was up late and this movie came on. I only watched it because there was nothing else on and I got hooked. I couldn't go to sleep till it was over. I think the reason I liked it so much is because I could relate to Helen so much. This is a movie you have to watch all the way through to like. And give it a chance, even though it may get a little boring in the begining and middle.
