I just finished watching the Medicine man starring Jack Benny. The movie was hokey and had very poor sound quality. It also had silent film gestures. But, you have to keep in mind this movie was made shortly after talkies came on the scene. It was fun to watch as part of film history. Jack Benny is 36 years old and chasing after an 18 year old. That alone makes it worth watching. Another lecher is after the same girl and there is even a guy who only wants to see her happy. The movie was a little sad and I don't know if it was really ever funny. I'll always better remember the later Jack Benny from the 50s where he was portrayed as being cheap and and from an episode of the Lucy Show he starred on.
