Notice how stereotype-free the humor was in this one? This, Destination Freedom, and the Nat King Cole Shows of the 50s were examples, of the times they got it right in those days.
Jack Benny put his foot down with his writers around the WW2 years to stop writing rochesters character around the racial jokes, and more stereotypical roles. sure, he remained Bennys valet, but rochester was able to talk back a little to benny and get away with it, benny and rochester were seen as pals, this is evident on the later benny tv shows.
Excellent! I love Rochester and I love Jack Benny too! So awesome. Each one in their own right. So talented and gifted. ❤🎉
Thank you for posting this. Eddie and Jack Benny were comic gold !
Wow! I never knew this pilot existed. Very cool! Thanks! 👏🏻👍
That's unmistakably the voice of Roy E. Glenn, Sr. as Franklin. So distinctive.
Executive Decision He turned up in a lot of straight-man roles on THE ADVENTURES OF AMOS ‘N’ ANDY as well.
Executive Decision He always played a judge or cop type on A&A. He projected authority so well.

The female voice sounds alot like Dorothy Dandridge.
