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.
