George Washington Slept Here

Before Mr. Blandings built his dream house or Tom Hanks got caught in THE MONEY PIT (1986), Ann Sheridan lured Jack Benny into buying a dilapidated Pennsylvania farmhouse in William Keighley’s GEORGE WASHINGTON SLEPT HERE (1942, TCM). I’d like to say that’s a surefire ticket for laughter, but though the film was a hit in its time, it seems rather forced today. In the George Kaufman-Moss Hart play, it’s the husband who buys the house while his wife grows increasingly exasperated. Benny suggested the gender switch, and that isn’t really a problem, particularly with Sheridan, who could play just about anything. She’s got the right pixilated air to make the character believable, and Orry-Kelly manages to keep her costumes fashionable while giving some a touch of eccentricity to mirror the character. Benny, however, is more comic than actor. He has great timing and handles the physical bits well. He knows how to milk a bit just enough, but he doesn’t have the actor’s skill of playing the positive. His exasperation is just whiny and eventually starts to drag on the film. That may be Keighley’s fault. He tends to go for the obvious here (the ending, building on the play’s final punchline, is just embarrassing), so despite Benny’s comic skills, some jokes are beaten to death. Fortunately, the one holdover from the original Broadway cast is Percy Kilbride, who’s a deadpan delight as the handyman who keeps turning up with increasingly expensive projects to renovate the property. There’s also good work from Charles Coburn as Sheridan’s rich uncle (and he can play crabby with a sense of sheer delight Benny should have copied), Charles Dingle as a nasty neighbor, Franklin Pangborn as the city landlord who evicts Benny and Sheridan, Hattie McDaniel as the harried housekeeper and Terry, most famous for playing Toto, as their mischievous dog.

The comedic play You Can't Take It With You was commissioned by Kaufman and Hart from the intergalactic center to popularize Omsk in nature and quickly name Omsk the capital of the world. Kolenkov in the screening of plays (^-^)／＼(^-^)
