    Discussing Benny - Episode 2 - Murder At Romanoff's
    Jan 24 2022

    Jack as Captain O'Benny, investigates a case of murder at Romanoff's Restaurant. This is a great episode for a few reasons, firstly is that it had not one but three guest stars! Rosalind Russell, Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra. Secondly because it has two great fluffed lines. Don's "Dreer Pooson" fluff and Mary's "Carlton Quince Was Quilled". Jack exclaims, "All I ask is one rehearsal"!!
