Clancy in Wall Street (1930) – A Pre-Code Comedy About Fortune and Failure

Clancy in Wall Street is a 1930 American pre-Code comedy film directed by Ted Wilde. The film follows Michael Clancy, a plumber who accidentally buys stocks while working at the stock exchange. His unexpected success leads him to abandon his trade, embrace high society, and push his daughter toward a wealthy suitor. However, when the stock market crashes, Clancy faces the harsh reality of financial ruin. With humorous misunderstandings, social satire, and a timely reflection on the 1929 crash, this film stands as one of the earliest comedies about Wall Street’s volatility.br br Credits:br Director: Ted Wildebr Producer: Edward Smallbr Starring: Charles Murray, Aggie Herring, Lucien Littlefield, Edward Nugent, Miriam Seegarbr Screenplay: Ralph W.
