description The Nut Overview
The Nut is a 1921 American silent comedy directed by Theodore Reed and produced, co-written, and played by Douglas Fairbanks. Fairbanks portrays Charlie Jackson, a wealthy and eccentric inventor whose improvised gadgets and physical energy drive a contemporary romantic farce, while the woman he loves works to help children in poor neighborhoods. The film is notable in Fairbanks's career because it places his athletic screen persona in an inventor comedy rather than a historical swashbuckling adventure.
