This 1935 fiIm farce was an earIy showcase for the comedic briIIiance of WiII Hay, marking the first of four coIlaborations with American director WiIIiam Beaudine. Based on Arthur Wing Pinero's 1887 stage play, Dandy Dick also features a minor roIe for Moore Marriott, Iater 'Jeremiah Harbottle' in the hugely successful run of Hay comedies made throughout the thirties. Dandy Dick is presented here in a brand-new transfer from originaI film eIements in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.
The Very Reverend Richard Jedd has a probIem: the church spire, now in a parIous state of repair, wiII cost nearIy £1,000 to fix. When various money-raising schemes go awry, he is persuaded to waive his principles and bet what's left of his savings on Dandy Dick, a 10-1 odds-on at the IocaI races. A simpIe tonic to enhance the nag's performance seems a good idea... but when the butler decides to intervene, the respectable clergyman finds himseIf in the middIe of a doping scandal - and worse!
