Well, if you don't have time to watch it, maybe you can squeeze it into your listening schedule - http://odeo.com/episodes/22521110-The-F ... t-03-04-49

I've found these radio versions of popular movies (e.g., all the Lux Radio Theater) to be really neat.
"Ship off the starboard bow!" "What kind is she?" "She's a Spanish Galleon!" "A galleon?" "Good! That's a quart for each of us!"

I didn't realize it until I happened to flip it on, but Jack was on TCM today in a cameo in the movie "Who Was That Lady?"

If you're unfamiliar with his scene, Dean Martin and Tony Curtis are inside the CBS studios (I assume in NYC since it definitely wasn't Television City). Tony Curtis says something like, "Is that Jack Benny?" (after misidentifying an actor as President Eisenhower).

Martin replies, "That's Jack Benny."

Then someone says to Jack, "We're ready for you Mr. Cosgrove, and Benny walks off carrying makeup equipment. I don't remember his one line of dialogue, however.
