About If Wishes Were Horses
"If Wishes Were Horses" is a musical comedy featuring Guyana’s premier comedian Habeeb Khan as a farmer who prefers show business, but joins the National “Feed-Yourself" campaign. With original songs and theme music, and the dramatic and comedic skills of Khan, Mignon Lowe, Barney Johnson, Don Me Master, Lennox Greaves and director Vivian John Lee himself.
Directed by Vivian John Lee, If Wishes Were Horses leans on a strong ensemble — Habeeb Khan, John Agard, Mignon Lowe — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1976.
