The Nervous Wreck

The Nervous Wreck is a 1926 American silent comedy adventure film directed by Scott Sidney and starring Harrison Ford, Phyllis Haver and Chester Conklin. It is based on the play The Nervous Wreck by Owen Davis, inspired by an earlier story The Wreck by E.J. Rath. The play later became a musical on which the 1930 film Whoopee! was based and also inspired the 1944 film Up in Arms.
