Athanael fumbles his first try when he saves Archie's accomplice, Fran, from suicide. His second chance seems doomed when he's forced to leave his trumpet as security for a meal he can't pay for. But he gets it back just in time for a final confrontation with his desperate adversaries, dangling with them from the roof, only seconds from Midnight.

Movie Reviews

Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Michael WilmingtonThe film’s rapid speed and its surplus of memorable supporting players helped to make sense of the absurd story. And if Benny was not ideally suited for the Bob Hope-level of bumbling misadventures or the Harold Lloyd-worthy climax involving a drop from a hotel rooftop, he gamely pushed ahead to keep the comedy at its patently ridiculous level.
The Dissolve - 8/10 by Nathan RabinThe Horn Blows At Midnight rarely pauses to catch its breath or give audiences time to catch up as it runs its hapless protagonist through a gauntlet of frenzied business and smart comic conceits over the course of its briskly paced 78 minutes.
Classic Film and Television - 7/10 by Michael E. GrostUnderrated fantasy, with inventive finale.
Chicago Reader - 6/10 by Dave KehrIt's bad, all right, but also weirdly compelling, thanks to some mind-boggling special effects work (check out the celestial chorus in the first reel) and some extremely speedy direction by Raoul Walsh, who seems to have decided that if the jokes weren't good, the least he could do was get through them fast.
The New York Times - 4/10 by Bosley CrowtherThe script is neither satire nor good, fresh, fanciful corn. It is a batch of old-fashioned nonsense put together without distinct charm.
User Review - 10/10 by David FMy favorite of all of Benny's movies. An underrated classic!
User Review - 10/10 by Ashley HThe Horn Blows at Midnight is a funny film. It is about Athaniel who dreams he's a trumpet player in Heaven's celestial orchestra. Jack Benny and Alexis Smith give amazing performances. The screenplay is well written. Raoul Walsh did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the humor and music. The Horn Blows at Midnight is a must see.
User Review - 6/10 by Kevin NAbsolutely one of the stupidest movies I've ever seen, but I didn't stop laughing throughout the entire 80 minutes.
User Review - 6/10 by Michael HBenny made the box-office failure of this movie into a running gag on his radio show. But the joke's on the audience because this movie isn't nearly as terrible as Benny or his writers made it out to be. The story of an angel sent to Earth to bring about the end of the world turns into screwball comedy with Benny firmly at the center of things, hamming things up. It's not nearly as good as some of Benny's other cinematic works, but it's still worth seeing.
User Review - 6/10 by Jayden CSilly but enjoyable. Lots of good gags. Time well wasted.
