The Nut was Doug's last modern-dress movie until his second talkie, Reaching for the Moon, in 1930. Doug's next six films were all swashbucklers: The Three Musketeers (1921), Robin Hood (1922), The Thief of Bagdad (1924), Don Q, Son of Zorro (1925), The Black Pirate (1926) and The Gaucho (1927). Each was a big hit.
