THE NERVOUS WRECK
starring Harrison Ford and Phyllis Haver
PHOTOPLAY
November, 1926

Owen Davis' famous stage play was a New York hit. And the delightful screen version of this play will play havoc with every town it is shown in.

An animated pill box, on doctor's orders, goes West to regain his health. He expects peace and quietness to reign, but finds matters entirely different. Then he discovers his heart isn't working just right -- the owner of the ranch happens to have a beautiful daughter who causes the uncertain pitter-patter. Unforeseen difficulties arise and, after a lot of fun, a complete metamorphosis envelops the hypochondriac.

Comedies when transferred from the stage to the screen are usually lacking in spontaneity, and this is no exception. However, there sitll remain enough horse play and hilarity to make this worthy of your evening's entertainment.
