The Nut Farm is a 1935 American film directed by Melville W. Brown, adapted from the John Charles Brownell Broadway play of the same name, which ran for 40 performances from 14 Oct.-Nov. 1929 at the Biltmore Theater (now the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre).[1]Wallace Ford is the titled star and the only cast-member common to the play and film. According to the New York Times film review, other than Ford, "There is not much else for it to boast about."[2] The play's original, copyrighted title was It's the Climate (1928).[3]
Bob and Helen decide to move to California and make a fresh start. Bob wants to buy a nut farm, but Helen and her brother Willie Barton dream of being in the movies: Helen as a star, Willie as a director. Film-producing con-artists descend on the family, and comedy ensues.
