The Nervous Wreck is a 1926 American silent comedy adventure film directed by Scott Sidney and starring Harrison Ford, Phyllis Haver and Chester Conklin.[1] 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.
