Buxomy blonde Moran is surprisingly amusing as a &#8220;cigarette girl&#8221; who&#8217;s primarily interested in pleasing her sleazy boyfriend (Gardiner); she effectively distracts Benny, though not in the way one might expect. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Horn-Blows-at-Midnight-Moran.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Horn-Blows-at-Midnight-Moran-1024x770.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"481\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-58414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Horn-Blows-at-Midnight-Moran-1024x770.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Horn-Blows-at-Midnight-Moran-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Horn-Blows-at-Midnight-Moran-128x96.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Horn-Blows-at-Midnight-Moran-768x577.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Horn-Blows-at-Midnight-Moran-359x270.png 359w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Horn-Blows-at-Midnight-Moran.png 1369w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Indeed, Benny&#8217;s character is such a genuinely good-hearted fellow &#8212; his name is a variation on Nathanael, which means &#8220;gift from God&#8221; &#8212; that we can&#8217;t help cheering him on despite his sincere intention to blow up the Earth; instead, we&#8217;re simply grateful he has such a loyal and stoically plucky girlfriend literally waiting in the wings to help him out. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> This film was primarily infamous as the flop Benny loved to self-flagellate over; too bad, as it doesn&#8217;t deserve that reputation. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fine art design and special effects<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Horn-Blows-Sets.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Horn-Blows-Sets.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"592\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-41679\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Horn-Blows-Sets.png 592w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Horn-Blows-Sets-128x97.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Horn-Blows-Sets-300x227.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 592px) 100vw, 592px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Horn-Blows-Harps.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Horn-Blows-Harps.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"592\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-41678\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Horn-Blows-Harps.png 592w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Horn-Blows-Harps-128x97.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Horn-Blows-Harps-300x227.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 592px) 100vw, 592px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Alexis Smith as Elizabeth<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Horn-Blows-Smith.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Horn-Blows-Smith.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"592\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-41677\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Horn-Blows-Smith.png 592w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Horn-Blows-Smith-128x97.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Horn-Blows-Smith-300x227.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 592px) 100vw, 592px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nYes, as a unique outing.
