George Washington Slept Here (1942)

Warner Bros.
Directed by William Keighley
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Nominated: Best Art Direction, Interior Decoration, Black & White

Jack Benny is a fish-out-of-water as the New Yorker forced to live in a dilapidated house in the country. Ann Sheridan is his wife. It's not bad as far as Benny vehicles are concerned, as he fumbles around the house falling through floors, down the deep water well, down the stairs, etc. Percy Kilbride has already got the Pa Kettle shtick down pat.
