Jack Benny - March 21, 1943 - Orson Welles Takes Cast to His Movie

Orson Welles, subbing for Jack, invites the cast to the set of his movie. The cab driver on the trip is an impersonation of Mae West, interesting because no mention of Miss West was allowed on NBC after her banishment for performing a lascivious Adam and Eve sketch on the Chase & Sanborn show in 1937.

Frank Nelson plays one of Orson Welles' assistants.
