I LOVE "Taxi Tangle"....Great short!
What I find very interesting is that the short was made in 1931, and Jack didn't TECNICALLY have his now-familiar "character" established yet.....but there are several instances of extreme stinginess in Jack's "Taxi Tangle" character. In fact, the "Jack Benny" in this short is more like the later "Jack" than characters that he played in feature films from 1933-1939!
