The Jack Benny Collection

Description:
Well! If it isn't the one and only Jack Benny in a fabulous DVD collection featuring "the stingiest man in the world" in one of his earliest film appearances as well as some of his funniest television shows. In addition to "The Medicine Man," a rare 1930 melodrama starring Jack as a traveling con artist, The Jack Benny Collection contains memorable episodes of The Jack Benny Program with such legendary guest stars as Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Liberace, Danny Thomas, Ed Sullivan, and the McGuire Sisters, as well as dependable Benny cast members Mary Livingston, Dennis Day, Mel Blanc, and Benny Rubin. No one whoever enjoyed the affable artistry of Jack Benny should be without this delightful collection. JACK BENNY COLLECTION Disc One THE MEDICINE MAN - In this rarely seen 1930 comedy/drama, Jack (in his first starring role) plays a shady hawker of health tonics - good for whatever ails you. Along the way, he cons gullible men out of their money and romances the ladies. Directed by Scott Pembroke, who directed another comedy great - Stan Laurel - in a number of silent shorts. Disc Two LIBERACE SHOW - In this music-filled episode of The Jack Benny Program, which originally aired in January of 1954, Liberace asks Jack to grab his violin and share the stage with him for a special concert. After Liberace's piano solo, the two perform a duet on "September Song." (00:29:30) GOLDIE, FIELDS & GLIDE - Jack tries to persuade the great Bing Crosby to appear on his program along with comedian George Burns, but Der Bingle wants too much money. Even Bob Hope gets into the act in this star-filled episode, which first aired in March of 1954. (00:28:37) Disc Three JACK BENNY AND HUMPHREY BOGART - Humphrey Bogart made his first television appearance on this memorable Jack Benny episode, which features detective Benny giving "Baby Face" Bogart the third degree. An unforgettable program! ED SULLIVAN/GENEVIEVE SHOW - Famed Broadway columnist and television host Ed Sullivan guest stars as a defense attorney (!) representing Parisian singer Genevieve for a murder rap. Jack plays the persistent prosecutor. This offbeat episode of The Jack Benny Program was first telecast in April of 1959. (00:24:00) Disc Four CHRISTMAS SHOPPING SHOW - Benny favorites Mel Blanc, Frank Nelson, and Benny Rubin guest star in this holiday episode, which finds Jack in a department store, trying to get some Christmas shopping done. As if that wasn't stressful enough, Jack winds up in the middle of a robbery! Originally aired in December (when else) of 1957. (00:25:00) NEW YEAR'S EVE - In another holiday-themed show, Jack reminisces about the previous New Year's Eve. Dennis Day sings "An Irishman Will Steal Your Heart Away." Originally telecast on New Year's Eve of 1961. (00:26:00) Disc Five DANNY THOMAS/McGUIRE SISTERS SHOW - In this sixty-minute episode of The Jack Benny Hour, which originally aired in November of 1959, Danny Thomas heckles Jack from the audience and the McGuire Sisters sing. Also appearing are the remarkable Marquis Chimps and, in one hilarious sketch, Raymond Burr as Perry Mason! (00:58:56)
