Quiet Please! (1933)
** (out of 4)
Edgar Kennedy boards a train heading to a gun convention where he's looking to make a ton of sales. While on the train his mother-in-law and brother-in-law show up and start one major issue after another, which doesn't sit well with Kennedy's boss who is also on the train.
QUIET PLEASE! comes from writer-director George Stevens who at this early point in his career hadn't hit the high levels that were soon to follow. For the most part this is a fairly routine comedy where our hero gets punched in the face a few times as well as destroys the train through no fault of his own. This was just one of many films in the "Mr. Average Man" series that Kennedy did for RKO and while this one here isn't all that funny it's still got a few nice moments for fans of the comedian. HERO AND THE TERROR is a decent movie but not a complete winner.
