About The Chicken in the Case
Steve Perkins decides to borrow Winnie, the newly acquired wife of his roommate Percival, in order to meet his Aunt Sarah's wishes and receive his inheritance sooner. The aunt is so impressed with Winifred that she leaves the money in the name of the framed-up wife. Aunty, however, runs into Winifred and her real husband Percy together and becomes suspicious.
Directed by Victor Heerman, The Chicken in the Case leans on a strong ensemble — Owen Moore, Vivia Ogden, Teddy Sampson — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1921.
