The Jack Benny Program - Jack's Maxwell Is Stolen - (2/3)

Jack Benny's Maxwell is stolen. What's a Maxwell? The Maxwell was a brand of automobile manufactured in the United States from about 1904 to 1925. I never heard of it until now. You can see pictures of it and read about its history here:

This is another hilarious episode from the old school of comedy that captivated early American television viewers.

@Freenbean Frank Nelson would have definitely been a better choice.

@Freenbean lol yeah I just finished reading that biography about Jack by Irving Fein--it was awesome, aside from the crazy moments toward money and stuff in the business. I usually skip past those parts xD But now after reading that section I try to imagine how Jack's feeling throughout the whole thing in this segment of the ep.

Not only that, 'Freen'- as with all of his best material, Jack adapted this into a filmed episode [February 4, 1962], with Jack's daughter Joan as the "receptionist".

Jack and the director Ralph Levy got into an argument over this casing for thisscene. Jack wanted his people (Frank Nelson, etc) to play the officers, while Levy overruled him and hired actors like Lyle Talbot. Jack didnt speak to Levy until after the show when he went into the control room and said "Ralph, I just want to tell you- it feels marvelous that I didn't have to tell you "I told you so!"".
