The Jack Benny Program - Dream of Marrying Mary (3/3)

Joan also appeared in the February 4, 1962 filmed version of the "Missing Maxwell" sketch Jack first did live in November 1956...she played the "Police Receptionist" [she mentions this in her book, "Sunday Nights At Seven"]. I believe Jack figured, 'if I'm going to do this sketch on film, I want Joanie to do it with me, so she can show my grandchildren we DID work together...and that I AM who I say I am!'.

I think you're right. A nice sentiment for Jack!

The final commercial IS intact at 5:16. And look who's pitching Luckies- New York TV legend Sandy Becker! He sometimes delivered Lucky Strike commercials on Jack's radio show in the late '40s and early '50s. And indeed, in three weeks [February 28th], Helen Hayes guest starred in a live episode. Joan Benny appeared in at least one more episode of her father's series, and both were celebrity players opposite each other on "PASSWORD" in 1962.

Thanks Barry. Would you happen to know which other episode Joan was in?
