My Uncle Benjamin, based on the work of Claude Tillier, directed by Rene Leprince. My uncle, Doctor Benjamin Rathery, had little trust in medicine. He says that a doctor has done enough as long as he doesn't kill his patient. (Benjamin: played by Leon Mathot). My uncle is the doctor of Manette, the pretty innkeeper. They were doing each other a favor. (Manette: played by Mad Erickson). - It's a sore throat, from a cold. May I see your tongue? - And the bill, doctor? My mother lived under the same roof as her brother and considered herself as his mentor. (Miss Betty Carter). My mother really wanted my uncle to get married, he was crippled by debt. The visits of the beautiful innkeeper angered her. See more on Number 2.
