 Benny often parodied contemporary movies and movie genres on the radio program, and the 1940 film "Buck Benny Rides Again" features all the main radio characters in a funny Western parody adapted from program skits.The failure of one cinematic Benny vehicle, "The Horn Blows at Midnight", became a running gag on his radio and television programs, although contemporary viewers may not find the film as disappointing as the jokes suggest.Benny may have had an unbilled cameo role in "Casablanca", claimed by a contemporary newspaper article and advertisement and reportedly in the "Casablanca" press book.
