Turner Classic Movies has been honouring Robert Benchley all day as its his birthday. Benchley was born on September 15, 1889 and died on November 21, 1945. To those unfamiliar with Benchley, he was an important American humorist best known for his work as a newspaper and magazine columnist and critic and as an actor and Hollywood personality. To go on about Benchley would swiftly devour the spare time I am afforded this afternoon, so I'm including this link for the curious to his wikipedia entry.
Before I turn my attention back to the film marathon in his honour, I thought I'd include some examples of the humourous short films of Mr. Benchley. Weekend at the Waldorf begins now.
Enjoy the shorts!
