Feel My Pulse with live piano by Philip Carli

Inauspicious meeting between a wealthy hypochondriac and her new doctor

Feel My Pulse is a comedy in which an eccentric millionaire hypochondriac (played by Bebe Daniels) runs from germs to her private tropical sanatorium – which has been recently been taken over by an organization of rum runners (led by a young William Powell). An unusual health cure, but surprisingly effective! Bebe Daniels holding off an entire outfit of rum runners is a sequence not to be missed – especially after she finds the chloroform.
