Those Were the Days Movie Reel 'The Horn Blows at Midnight'

The Horn Blows at Midnight (1945) is a comedy fantasy film directed by Raoul Walsh and starring Jack Benny.

Its biggest claim to fame, apart from its star, is its failure at the box office. In the two decades following its release, Benny often exploited the film’s failure for laughs in his popular radio and television comedy series The Jack Benny Program, making the film a well-known entity to his wide audience, even if they had never seen it. The Horn Blows At Midnight would prove to be Benny’s final starring feature, although he would continue as a radio and TV star (as well as making cameo appearances in films) for years afterwards.
