This rare and forgotten British Lion comedy of 1934 is well worth the attention of cineastes for the presence of two of its actors. Firstly Frank Pettingell, best remembered now for his major role in the 1940 version of Gaslight, who in this film is seen in comic vein posing as a daft butler with hilarious consequences. Secondly Cyril Raymond, unforgettable as Laura's husband in Brief Encounter, here playing a rakish boyfriend but with a touch of gravitas. In both cases their performances in Keep it Quiet rank as, arguably, the best of their careers. Direction by Leslie Hiscott is slick and serviceable and, together with Michael Barringer's witty scenario, render this as one of the best of the unjustly scorned 'quota quickies' of the 1930s.
