Quiet Please: Murder (1942)



A book thief and forger sells a fake book to a Nazi through a female agent, and a detective tries to uncover who the forger is and gets in the middle of a three way struggle for rare books and revenge in a public library.

Interesting crime drama with a rather complex plot playing mainly in a library; George Sanders steals the show, though.

Halliwell*: "Unusual, stylish second feature."

Maltin**1/2: "Offbeat, intriguing yarn...Murder and romance expertly woven into story."
