Historical Significance

Released in 1935, Black Sheep captures the screwball spirit of mid-1930s Hollywood comedy at its most irresistible. Director Allan Dwan, one of Hollywood’s most prolific filmmakers with a career spanning the silent and sound eras, delivers a picture perfectly calibrated for pure pleasure. Edmund Lowe’s transition from tough-guy roles to roguish comic leads was never more charming than here, and Claire Trevor — who would go on to win an Academy Award for Key Largo (1948) — is a magnetic, endlessly entertaining screen presence. The horse racing backdrop gives the film an authentic period flavor that makes it an equally enjoyable document of 1930s sporting culture and social life.
