Hope "spies" it up in a long-awaited DVD
I remember watching this 1951 comedy on lazy weekend afternoons while growing up. It's among Bob Hope's best, brimming with Hope's trademark wisecracks about cowardism & his supposed prowess with women, all set against an atmospheric backdrop of menace (in this case, spy business) which served Hope well. Gorgeous brunette Hedy Lamarr is his leading lady here; but of course, it's really Hope's movie all the way.
This is one of those rarely seen comic gems which vanished from the movie landscape years ago. So glad it's finally getting its DVD release!
Finally a Fine Transfer
Not among the best of Hope's films, but still a pleasure. Filmed in black and white as all Hope spy films must be. The good news is that unlike other Hope films of this period (The Great Lover, Lemon Drop Kid), the transfer on this DVD is excellent. If only such a clear copy of My Favorite Brunette were available.
My Favorite Spy
I saw this movie over thirty years ago and thought it was a great movie; when I watched it recently I still enjoyed it but not as much as when I was younger. It seem more thrilling then. Still I enjoyed it and love classic movies that are comedies.
