A cream-of-the-crop gathering of 1930’s radio stars, who lend themselves to a storyline about a failing radio station which needs to put on a huge ratings winner to have any chance of continued operation. An interesting mixture of the stars whose fame continued to grow, those who became bit players in show business history, and those who have been forgotten entirely, except at the Internet Movie Database of course!

Falling asleep during the Paradise Coffee (“The Coffee that Makes You Sleep”) Program, the band’s third trumpeter dreams he’s Athanael, an angel deputized to blow the Last Trumpet at exactly midnight on Earth. But Osidro and Doremus, two fallen angels enjoying the physical pleasures of an earthly existence, try to steal Athanael’s trumpet, enlisting the aid of suave jewel thief Archie Dexter. Athanael fumbles his first try when he saves Archie’s accomplice, Fran, from suicide. His second chance seems doomed when he’s forced to leave his trumpet as security for a meal he can’t pay for. But he gets it back just in time for a final confrontation with his desperate adversaries, dangling with them from the roof, only seconds from Midnight.

Buck Benny Rides Again (1940) Mark Sandrich, Jack Benny, Ellen Drew, Eddie ‘Rochester’ Anderson

rarefilm — Tue, 03 Dec 2019 23:41:36 +0000

Radio star Jack Benny, intending to stay in New York for the summer, is forced by the needling of rival Fred Allen to prove his boasts about roughing it on his (fictitious) Nevada ranch. Meanwhile, singer Joan Cameron, whom Jack’s fallen for and offended, is maneuvered by her sisters to the same Nevada town. Jack’s losing battle to prove his manhood to Joan means broad slapstick burlesque of Western cliches.
