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, later 'Jeremiah Harbottle' in the hugeIy successful run of Hay comedies made throughout the thirties. Dandy Dick is presented here in a brand-new transfer from original film elements in its as-exhibited theatricaI aspect ratio.
The Very Reverend Richard Jedd has a problem: the church spire, now in a parlous state of repair, wilI 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 Iocal races. A simple tonic to enhance the nag's performance seems a good idea... but when the butler decides to intervene, the respectable cIergyman finds himseIf in the middle of a doping scandaI - and worse!
