Dimwitted Zachary Hicks is nominated as the Progressive Party's candidate for governor, and it's up to a sly campaign manager to help him win.
The Dark Horse is a sprightly comedy/romance/political drama. Warren William is good, and Bette Davis acquits herself well in a pretty thankless role.
However, the whole film belongs to Guy Kibbee. It's fun to see him have a larger part than usual. Vivienne Osborne was quite good as William's vengeful ex-wife. The ubiquitous Frank McHugh also appears.
Perhaps the oddest moment in the film is when Kibbee and Osborne play a game of strip poker!
