Good Morning, Nurse

About This Movie

So, Good Morning, Nurse is sort of this quirky little comedy that, despite its age, manages to capture that chaotic spirit of family outings. You’ve got Roland Royce, played by Ralph Graves, who really embodies that hapless dad vibe as he tries to wrangle his clan and a rather alluring nurse, Olive Borden, during a camping trip that goes completely off the rails. The pacing’s a bit uneven, but I think that just adds to its charm—like the way the humor often hinges on situational calamity rather than smooth dialogue. It’s interesting how they used practical effects for some of the gags, lending a certain authenticity to the slapstick moments. The performances feel genuine, somewhat reminiscent of early silent film antics, even if this one's talkie.

Good Morning, Nurse, while not particularly well-known, has its niche among collectors who appreciate 1920s comedies. It's somewhat scarce on original prints, with limited circulation over the years. The film's charm and the unique performances of Graves and Borden garner interest, especially for those looking to round out their silent-to-early sound era collection.
