So, 'Cab Waiting' from 1931, huh? It's this quaint little short that gives off a very laid-back vibe. Jack Benny is in a taxi, sharing the space with a charming young lady who's got a flirtatious edge. The atmosphere is light, almost breezy, and you can feel the playful tension between them. The pacing is relaxed, allowing for those little moments of dialogue to breathe. There's something about the simplicity of the practical effects—just a cab ride, yet it feels so intimate. It’s the chemistry between Benny and the woman that really stands out, creating a flirtation that, while subtle, is definitely engaging. A slice of early talkies that captures a moment in time beautifully.
'Cab Waiting' is quite a rarity for collectors, often overshadowed by more prominent works from the era. Its scarcity means that finding a good print can be a challenge, but it has garnered interest for its simplicity and the early appearance of Jack Benny. The film exists primarily in short formats, making it a neat piece for anyone interested in the evolution of comedy in early cinema.
