A Timeless Tale of Political Shenanigans

Hal Samson Blake (Warren William), a brilliant but ethically flexible campaign manager, finds himself tasked with an impossible mission: turning the dimwitted Zachary Hicks (Guy Kibbee) into a viable gubernatorial candidate. With the help of his quick-thinking secretary Kay Russell (Bette Davis), Blake employs every trick in the book—and invents a few new ones—to transform Hicks from a political liability into a potential governor.

As Blake navigates dirty tricks from the opposition, romantic entanglements, and the constant challenge of keeping his candidate from saying something disastrous, the film delivers a hilarious and biting commentary on the American political process. With its razor-sharp wit and uncanny parallels to modern politics, The Dark Horse proves that some aspects of elections never change.

Warren William’s Tour de Force Performance

The Dark Horse showcases Warren William at the height of his powers as Hollywood’s “King of Pre-Code.” His portrayal of the fast-talking, quick-thinking Hal Blake is a masterclass in charisma and comedic timing. William’s ability to deliver rapid-fire dialogue while maintaining a suave demeanor cements his status as one of the era’s most talented and underappreciated actors.

The film also features an early performance by Bette Davis, whose chemistry with William hints at the legendary star she would soon become.
