Quiet, Please (1939)
7/10
It's got everything
2 September 2022
Fritz Feld is an egotistical film director who decides to rewrite the ending of the musical comedy he's directing to be set at an indoor ice rink (made of sugar glass) during an indoor snow storm (made of goose feathers) and featuring a gorilla. Although boxer Tom Kennedy is on hand to play a gorilla, Feld insists on using a real gorilla. After mistaking the real gorilla for Kennedy, Feld changes his mind and everything ends with everyone jitterbugging.

This Technicolor short from Warner Brothers has a bit of everything. A couple of songs, Feld doing his foreign accent comedy, Charley Foy talking right to the camera, two guys in gorilla suits and a huge jitterbug finale. How can anyone resist this?
