    Jockey George

    A stableboy (George Formby) dreams of being a jockey and gets the opportunity when he tames a horse renowned for its bad temper.

    A standard Formby vehicle enlivened by the fact that George was a former jockey himself when he was younger before turning to the music hall. He even appeared in a short film in 1915 as a racing jockey. The film has a few bright moments though the songs are far from the usual good 'uns you'd expect in a Formby film.
