Beautiful tribute to one of the best comedians ever

"Love Letter to Jack Benny" is wonderfully warm-hearted tribute to the late comic genius. Hosted by three men who knew Jack well (including his best friend, George Burns), they introduce a raft of rare clips from his later programs in the 60s. What becomes abundantly clear is that great comedy NEVER ages and no one mastered the art of pauses and reaction shots better than Jack Benny.

One particular highlight is his "final" which he admits at the top was a stunt by the network for rating and was in no way his final show. However, then Governor Ronald Reagan, as a farewell present, offers him a car. The reaction of Jack Benny (trying to decide whether or not to take the car) is gut busting and has echoes of his classic "Your money or your life" routine from decades before.

If you're a fan of Jack Benny, this is beyond a must see.
