Horn Blows at Midnight
Horn Blows At Midnight
 

-- Synopsis: Trumpet player (Benny) in love with a harpist (Smith) who gets him a radio job on the "Paradise Coffee Program," which advertises a coffee that promises a gentle sleep and sweet dreams. And dream he does, but one would not call it sweet: he dreams he is an angel sent to earth to blow the trumpet at a swank New York Hotel that will destroy the world. This film is very silly and a good funny film the whole family can enjoy.
