The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit
Frederick Bolton has to solve two problems. First, his boss has instructed him to come up with a reasonable campaign to promote a new product, a stomach pill named "Aspercel" - by tomorrow. The second problem is Fred's daugther, Helen. She is absolutely fond of horses, takes riding classes and has already had decent success in some competitions. Her biggest wish is to own a horse herself, a dream her father cannot afford at all. Now Fred tries to solve both problems at once by simply combining them: A horse named "Aspercel", ridden by his daugther should bring the name of the pill into the papers and make Helen happy, too. But there's still one more obstacle: Helen and Aspercel of course have to win a few prices to make this idea work...

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a gentle satire where corporate ambition intersects with a child's pure passion. Director Norman Tokar explores this clash through the lens of a family comedy, relying on the charm of its leads and the picturesque equestrian settings to drive the narrative forward.
Those who tire of cynical plots will find a wholesome tale about dreams bridging generations. What lingers after the credits is a pleasant, old-fashioned sense of earnest fun. — MovieFinder Editorial
