This Library's Check-Out Can Be Deadly

 

This 1942 release, Quiet Please, Murder, is an enjoyable yet routine detective mystery with art forger, George Sanders, at his condescending best. His partner in crime is Gail Patrick, playing a phony art expert. They tolerate each other only for their monetary rewards. This unknown film was a World War II encourager in defeating the Nazis. Film vacillates between serious and humorous making it a fast seventy minutes. Richard Denning is a standout with plenty of quips as is Byron Foulger as the nervous head librarian during an air raid. My full assessment at Unknown Hollywood.
