    A great movie that’s usually shown around New Years! Love the part with Benny floundering in the giant coffee cup! I think I’m going to like this storyline.

    I remember, years ago, a Jack Benny TV show where jack emphatically mention “A Horn Blows at Midnight.” I asked what was the purpose of his mentioning that out of context and my parents told me the movie was a flop but Jack wanted the TV audience to remember his movie.

    Jack Benny was a giant.

    On the Jack Benny radio show (a true classic of old-time radio), “The Horn Blows at Midnight” was a running joke for years. People would bring it up any time movies were mentioned and it would always get Jack mad.

    Looks like Skeezix has quite a DVD collection; nice to see him keeping up with the times. I’ve stil got piles of VHS tapes to convert.

    “The Horn Blows at Midnight” has apparently not been released on DVD in our universe—or at least I can’t find it on Amazon or Netflix. I searched Turner Classic Movies, and it’s not scheduled to be shown there either.

    I just found the film on YouTube, and it looks like it’s in pretty good quality.

    Jack Benny’s best movie is definitely TO BE OR NOT TO BE., which was also the last film of Carole Lombard.
    BTW, the picture on that DVD looks more like Tommy Dorsey than Jack Benny.

    Mentioning the title, “The Horn Blows at Midnight” to Jack Benny was kinda like mentioning the name Bucky Dent to a Red Sox fan. Both are (and were) always in good fun, though.

    Jack Benny, Bob Hope, Jimmy Durante, George Burns—all comic geniuses that did not resort to potty humor as so many of today’s “comedians” do.

    Yes, “Horn Blows at Midnight” was a hokey film, but when I saw it I thought it entertaining.

    Horn Blows At Midnight is available as DVD on Amazon, VHS on eBay. The DVD cover in this comic is copied from the movie poster, also available on line.
