Used Car Salesmen

Edgar has to buy his landlord a new used car and falls into the clutches of fast-talking salesmen in this funny episode of his long-running series from RKO, THE COMMON MAN.

Used-car salesmen long had a reputation for selling shoddy goods at inflated prices, and this short takes full advantage of the reputation, with the double-talk and add-ons coming fast and furious. The modern viewer may think the entire matter unlikely .... until confronted with a long page of small type which gives up all rights when attempting to actually use some software he has just paid money for.

Kennedy had begun in the movies with Keystone in1912 and by the 1930s was a well-known supporting comic in features, as well as headlining this series until his death in 1948.

The Road to Ruination

Starting atmospherically in darkness with the Kennedys woken by an early morning phone call from his useless brother in law, the hapless Edgar soon finds himself spending money like an out of control taxi meter as his wife's family once again proves an expense he can ill afford.

Good, Not Great.

The Plot. Edgar lets his brother-in-law borrow his car (mistake no.1), and soon gets a call from Brother that the car won't start.

Edgar borrow's his neighbor's car (mistake no.2) to go haul in his stranded vehicle, and immediately wrecks it.

He then goes to buy a replacement car for his neighbor from "Miracle Sam - The Used Car Man" (mistakes no.3 through no.8) and drives off without insurance.

Meanwhile...Brother has gotten Edgar's car started, and anybody not anticipating the upcoming two-car wipeout collision between the cars driven by Edgar and Brother are watching their first Edgar Kennedy short.

Good Kennedy 2 Reeler, but late in the series, it's already showing strains in the format.
