The Slow Burn
boblipton22 October 2019
Edgar promises never to lose his temper again, if Florence gives him another chance. However, mother-in-law Dot Farley and brother-in-law William Eugene try to make him lose his temper, and a mantel clock which chimes the wrong time doesn't help.

It's an okay entry in Edgar Kennedy's long-running RKO short-comedy series, THE COMMON MAN. The premise is weak. However, Kennedy's comic specialty was 'the slow burn', in which he gradually lost his temper. That's the point of this comedy, and he performs it ably.

I believe this movie was remade some time later, with Jack Rice replacing Eugene as the brother-in-law. Rice was a better comic actor that Eugene, who lost his position in the series in 1934.
