Wow, this was a shock - the real voices of Jack Benny and his TV stars: "Jack," "Rochester," "Mary" and "Don." Mel Blanc voices "The Maxwell." Anyway, it's strange to hear the real Jack Benny voice himself in this cartoon as we see him playing his violin early on and comparing himself (favorably) to the great violinist Isaac Stern.
The jokes are typical Benny lines, except he's a mouse here so counts his cheese instead of his dollar bills. The extent to which he locks up the cheese is extremely funny. In this cartoon, we get all the regular Benny jokes and blank stares! This is almost like watching the real Jack Benny Show.
The ending of this cartoon makes this a unique Looney Tunes one - a real treasure for Benny fans. (A hint: we see the actual Jack Benny!)
