QUIET PLEASE MURDER (1942)

"YOU'VE GOT A DATE WITH DANGER!... A Rendezvous with Romance!"

A public library at night is the setting for this fast-moving crime caper. George Sanders is a gentleman crook specializing in selling forgeries of rare books. In the company of phony policemen, Sanders enters the library unmolested and pilfers a priceless Shakespeare folio in order to expedite his operation. The criminal's girl friend/accomplice Gail Patrick is willing to go along with the crime until Sanders begins displaying a homicidal streak. She calls in a detective (Richard Denning) to foil the criminal. A murder or two later, Sanders is tracked down amidst the dark, forbidding library shelves. It's no small trick to make a library exciting, but Quiet Please, Murder pulls this off with speed and economy (Rovi).

I LOVE George Sanders! And I like Gail. I'm familiar with her in My Man Godfrey and My Favorite Wife. I'm going to have to scour amazon to get this film. Thanks for posting! ;-)
