Review of The Meanest Man in the World (1943) by Kevin M. W — 31 Aug 2015
Take the Jack Benny show, cut out all the fat, and waddaya got? Benny and Rochester, sparring against and for each other, which brings us to this quick little gem about a cheap but warmhearted lawyer (its a fantasy) acting mean and lowdown cause people seem to like lawyers that way.
Unfortunately, the racial attitudes of those days very nearly overcook this duck, but the chemistry of the two leads manages to survive even that. Worth looking for.
