“if Dark Horse was produced on stage rather than as an independent film, it would probably receive enormous acclaim, like Mike Nichols’ current rehash of Death of a Salesman or shows like Other Desert Cities and The Lyons.

Our screening tonight at the Film Society Of Lincoln Center is sold out, but there’s always are a few seats to be sold twice to the lucky few who show up empty-handed.
