This episode was interesting and it was up to his regular standards, but there is nothing outstanding about it and therefore it is not to be recommended. Benny is awakened by a 4:00am phone call from a all night radio announcer. He cannot get back to sleep. He then calls Mary Livingstone who hangs up on him. Eventually he goes out for a walk. On his doorstep he observes how smog free Los Angeles is in the morning. Benny says that he can see forever. He looks out and sees the Statue of Liberty. He then puts on his glasses as sees the Eifel Tower. Perhaps this humor worked in 1955 but it doesn't work today.
He then goes out shopping with Mary to buy a suit and absurd things happen to him. But every joke is a Benny joke and we have heard them all before. Some episodes of the Jack Benny show are so good they are unbelievable. This one is pedestrian and quite forgettable.
