Questions come up about this movie from Jack Benny fans from time to time. I have to say that I could never, in good conscience, recommend this movie to them. Someone had an idea that they (and, apparently, the cast and crew) thought was funny: to do a Star Wars take-off with a flamingly gay Jack Benny in the lead role, Rochester as an android, and the Maxwell as their spaceship. But it comes off as one of those inside jokes that must be funny to them, but simply doesn't make any sense to the rest of us (including devotees of the real Jack Benny).
I brought it to the house of a friend who is a long-time Jack Benny and science fiction fanatic, and the concept made him laugh uproariously. But we had to turn it off after 10 minutes because we just couldn't take it.
If you're a Jack Benny fan that thrives on the very strange (and/or regularly indulges in regulated substances), you can see if your local video store has a copy for rent. I got mine from Reel. Otherwise, rent "The Horn Blows at Midnight"...it's a much better movie.
