Black & White; Closed Captioned; Standard Screen; Soundtrack English Having spent a lengthy career in radio, Jack Benny made the leap to television screens for the first time in 1950. He brought most of his radio cast with him, and was joined by various special guests as he performed some clown-like skits for the general public. The TV show went out live, which meant some nerve-fraying action unfolded on the screen, with the often unpredictable Benny drawing on his enormous comic talent to pull together an often chaotic show. A welter of material from the shows is included here, including episodes such as "Beverly Hills Police Station," "Jack's Hong Kong Suit," "Honolulu Trip," "Lunch counter Murder," " Four O'Clock in the Morning Show," and many others.

Jack Benny Collection review
$10.49
Director John Boorman's typical bravado is somewhat muted in this WWII parable. Set in the Pacific in 1944, the film focuses on two combatants stranded on the same barren atoll: a Japanese naval officer (Toshirô Mifune) and a U.S. marine pilot (Lee Marvin). At first the two men warily stalk each other, both revealing something by refusing to kill the other when the opportunity arises. At length the Japanese officer captures and harnesses the American, who ultimately escapes, returns, and ties up his opponent. The American finally releases his prisoner as both men grasp the pointlessness of their behavior, and a tacit truce develops between them, since neither can understand the other's language. After some scenes of mutually incomprehensible yelling ...

Given George Stevens' penchant for romantic comedy, it's probably not surprising that the WWII housing crunch in Washington, D.C. could provide fertile grounds for his imagination. The city's dearth of apartments has made things difficult even for 60-year-old millionaire Benjamin Dingle (Charles Coburn) who answers an ad for an apartment share only to find a long line of prospective tenants ahead of ...
