This 1935 film farce was an early showcase for the comedic brilliance of Will Hay, marking the first of four collaborations with American director William Beaudine. Based on Arthur Wing Pinero's 1887 stage play, Dandy Dick also features a minor role for Moore Marriott, later 'Jeremiah Harbottle' in the hugely successful run of Hay comedies made throughout the thirties.

Will Hay in one of his earliest roles. Country vicar, Rev. Richard Jedd (Hay) despises the vices of gambling and drink but finds himself mixed up in both when his long-lost half sister re-appears. Having unsuccessfully tried to raise money for the expensive repairs needed to his church's steeple, the Reverend is persuaded by his half-sister to gamble on the horse she co-owns with a brewer - the horse is called Dandy Dick after the very Reverend. He then finds himself mixed up not only in gambling but the crooked end of it and ends up on the run from the police.
