Home Movie Advice from Robert Benchley

Robert Benchley's vintage movie short, Home Movies, can also be found under Special Features on Turner Home Entertainment's DVD release (June 1, 2004) of My Favorite Wife starring Cary Grant and Irene Dunne.




I had never heard of Robert Benchley until watching this short. I was surprised  to find that he was a noted humorist (he wrote essays, newspaper writings, and drama criticism) in addition to being a film actor.

"It took me 15 years to discover that I had no talent for writing, but I couldn't give it up because by that time I was too famous." - Robert Benchley
Check out Wikipedia's write up on Benchley.

Have you read or watched any of Benchley's other works? Any suggestions?
