I read that Jack Benny's role was changed to fit his recognizable comic persona.

Everything We Know About Steve Eldridge
We've identified this In the play, Bill Fuller is as excited to move to the country as his wife Connie is.
It was like Benny really had to get back to NY and they only had one day left to shoot and 30 pages of script, so they just cramme it all in. In the original play, city dweller Bill Fuller, fired up with the spirit of "back to the soil," purchases a ramshackle Colonial-era farmhouse in upstate New York, dragging his reluctant wife, Connie, along for the ride. Rent/Buy. One male actor sits down with a cigar, and an actor and actress stand behind him. Benny is simply brilliant here whether he is in a barely contained panic attack or spouting out sarcastic wisecracks. Get the freshest reviews, news, and more delivered right to your inbox!

There is lots of good slapstick humor as Bill discovers everything in the house is falling apart, there is no water, and a neighbor claims ownership of the road and well.

His wife, played by the radiant Ann Sheridan, is the one who longs for a more settled lifestyle of home-ownership and is sold on a particular fixer-upper because supposedly "George Washington slept here." Scenic Design by
Lots of great laugh out loud moments, but the story wraps up so fast I got really confused.

The plot might be a little weak as well, there's very little substance and it doesn't ever try to be more than light comedy (but then again, who cares). Mr. Kimber (Kilbride) is the caretaker of the property and his mounting expenses and slow country ways irritate Bill further.

Benny sometimes delivers his lines like he's still doing radio (rather than acting on the screen) and those lines don't always work either.

Comedian Jack Benny and Anne Sheridan star with Academy Award winner Hattie McDaniel (Gone with the Wind) in a hilarious screen adaptation of the hit Broadway play George Washington Slept Here.
