The Horn Blows at Midnight is a 1945 comedy fantasy film starring Jack Benny as Athanael, a trumpet player who dreams he is an angel sent to destroy the earth with a trumpet blast. He faces various obstacles and temptations from two fallen angels, a jewel thief, and a violinist. The film was a box-office flop and became a running joke on Benny's radio and TV shows. However, it has since gained some cult status and appreciation for its whimsical humor and fantasy elements.
