I've been involved with a lot of the people up here. We work together on ending wars with their country. It's been amazing.

DepressedBergman @DannyDrinksWine - Jack Benny's father loved movies & was very proud of his son's popularity. He walked out of the theater during the opening scene of "To Be or Not to Be" (1942) since his son uttered "Heil, Hitler" & did the Nazi Salute.
He didn't write letters or pick up calls from Jack Benny for 2 weeks after that. In their next conversation, he told Benny that he had disowned him. Only after Benny explained to him that the movie was against the Nazis, he saw the whole picture. He loved it so much that he saw it 46 times.
[P.S: On this day, 84 years ago, Ernst Lubitsch's "To Be or Not to Be" (1942) premiered in Los Angeles, California, USA]

DepressedBergman @DannyDrinksWine - Here is Jack Benny Explaining it in detail:
"While I was shooting the film, my father was living in Florida, where he had retired. He liked to stay at simple, unpretentious inns, patronized by elderly Orthodox Jews like himself. He took “dips” in the ocean and played pinochle with his friends. And he listened to the radio. Everybody he met had to listen to my show and be crazy about me or Papa would have a fight with them. Every Monday like clockwork he wrote me a letter in broken English. The closing sentence was always the same: “No matter who I meet they always know about my son. Jack Benny.”
He carried around stacks of my pictures, which he handed out to strangers. Everyone in his hotel, Sundays at seven, had to sit in the lobby and hear the show. Once in his Monday letter, he said, “I met a man never heard of you. He never heard your programs. Could you believe such a thing? But don’t feel bad, son. He was just an old Jew.”
During his last years. Papa needed a full-time nurse, but even so, he went for strolls and his favorite pastime was going to my movies. He saw every one of them at least six times. I always felt sorry for the nurse.
To Be or Not to Be came to Miami Beach. In the first scene in the movie I wore a Nazi uniform and was seated in my office in the theater. Another actor entered and my right hand shot up in the Nazi salute. “Heil Hitler,” I said.
My father watched the movie for about one minute and when he saw this scene he grabbed the nurse’s arm and stomped out of the theater. The nurse couldn’t believe that for once she didn’t have to sit through another Jack Benny picture. I imagine she was the happiest nurse in all of Florida.
For two weeks I didn’t receive the regular weekly letter. I wrote him. He didn’t answer. I telephoned. He was never “in.” Finally, one evening he answered the phone instead of the nurse when I called.
