Edgar in the National Guard

Drafted in the Depot (1940)

** (out of 4)

Edgar Kennedy wants to spend his vacation hunting with a friend but his wife has made other plans for them. The friend talks Kennedy into telling his wife that he's joining the National Guard and that he will be defending his country for two weeks. She buys it but when she shows up at the train depot Kennedy is forced to really join.

DRAFTED IN THE DEPOT is the type of comedy short that you'd expect from Kennedy. He was always a likable character actor so he has that going for him and these screenplays usually just has the viewer feeling pity on him as he tries to do something for himself but gets into more trouble. There are a couple good laughs scattered throughout the running time but certainly not enough to make the film better. The highlight has to be the scene where Kennedy is mistaken for a machine gun expert and he must show off his skills. Fans of Kennedy will enjoy this but there's no question that it's far from a classic.
