Trafalger 1 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Hi all, Been trying to identify the title of the following described film seen some years ago on a long haul flight to America. The film is totally silent and is hilarious being full of well known actors and celebrities. Lasts about 30 minutes and is set in a UK City, The story tells of a group of men who have to remove a coffin and contents from the top floor of a building to a hearse outside. A lengthy series of mishaps occur during the transfer including meeting a piano being caried up the stairs, coffin falling out of hearse and being loaded into a lorry being driven by racing Driver James Hunt. The hearse I believe was driven by Graham Hill and cast included Eric Sykes, Arthur Lowe, and I think Tommy Cooper. Still laugh about it !laughing! with my wife now as was the whole plane full of passengers at the time. Can anyone help with the title?? Many thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Limey 242 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 It is "Mr H Is Late" - Google it! "Silent Movie" was a full length feature with Mel Brooks, Marty Feldman and others - famous because the only word spoken in the entire movie was "Non" by Marcel Marceau - the famous mime!
