One Creative Scene Makes it Worth Watching

What, No Cirgarettes? (1945)

** (out of 4)

Edgar Kennedy is forced to share a bed with his brother-in-law (Jack Rice) when Uncle Wilbur (Jimmy Conlin) comes for a visit. Wilbur offers to start a business to get the brother-in-law a job as long as Edgar keeps him fully supplied with cigarettes. The only problem is that there's a shortage so Edgar must do whatever he can to find some.

WHAT, NO CIGARETTES? isn't the greatest comedy ever made. Heck, it's not even a good film but there are some very creative moments that make it worth viewing. The highlight of the film is the sequence where Edgar is out trying to find cigarettes and keeps getting pushed to the back of the line. This sequence was quite creative and especially for this series. The stuff dealing with the uncle's frantic smoking issue was also rather funny. The first portion of the film is rather dull as once again it's the typical Edgar versus the family comedy that was in this series for a decade.
