I give my gratitude for providing the time to upload the episode of Mr. Benny's show, I am joyous to be aware of this series for the first time. If only Mr. Bogart was able to perform in more comedies if he was interested, to me had potential to do comedy films.

[@gardeniasandfalcons3945]

Beat the Devil was a very offbeat quirky film but it was also funny if you were able to dig it. It shows that Bogart could definitely do comedy.

[@vinyltapelover]

RareEnigma He also did a light comedy, that I liked, called "We're No Angels", with Peter Ustinov, and Aldo Ray. (Now this one, I knew the title. lol.) With no intent to ignore Mr. Ustinov, it was a pleasure to see these two men, who usually played tough guy, serious characters, showing other facets of their acting skills in a film like this. The films I saw Mr Ray in I liked but I never knew his name until looking up the cast today. He didn't have that name recognition(thing)like Bogey or other A listers, but it seemed to me, that he gave good performances in any film he did.

[@bobdudy7177]

Jacl Benny came from radio, which is probably why this program was done without an audience, which I think was unusual. Even I Love Lucy was filmed before a live audience as was Dick Van Dyke (which did surprise me). Benny however, knew exactly how to time his lines. Still some good stuff. It was different then, perhaps not better, but different. Also, Beat the Devil is worth checking out. A semi-obscure Bogie film because everyone in it played against type and it just confused people.

@@Mooza1 One, I'm old. Two, I watch a lot of KZbin clips. I was startled to see a clip of Desi introducing I Love Lucy to an audience before a filming and one of The Dick van Dyke shows which had the audience in the frame. Had always sort of assumed it was canned laughter (which was used a lot elsewhere). Canned laughter was very prevalent in the '60's and beyond. Interestingly, The Big Bang Theory was mostly done before a live audience also. Oh, BTW, Dick van Dyke is still alive and kicking. He'll (hopefully) be 95 on Dec. 13.
