Benchley Films Screen on TCM

Gordon Ernst sent a message to the members of the esteemed Robert Benchley Society about Robert Benchley films on the Turner Classic Movies Channel, including a slew that will air on his birthday, Sept. 15. Gordon wrote the definitive collection about Benchley's career, Robert Benchley: An Annotated Bibliography (a wonderful book and worth owning).

There are more than a dozen Benchley pieces in The Lost Algonquin Round Table, including some from his days in Hollywood.

Thanks to Gordon for pointing this out.
