Bob Hope got his start in show business when he was in his
twenties, remained active past the age of 90, and lived to be 100.
His longevity was remarkable, especially when one considers that he
was active in vaudeville, radio, motion pictures and television. He
excelled in each of these popular forms of entertainment, but his
films are the most genuine testaments to his timeless comedy. His
smart quips, fast pace, and breezy manner were perfect ingredients
for the brand of comedy that was popular during World War II and
the years immediately following the war. This book begins with a
discussion of Bob Hope's early career and the short films that he
starred in, and then covers each of the Hope films beginning with
The Big Broadcast of 1938. The Hope films, the author says, do not
have deep subtexts or clever cinematic innovations, but provide
clever, uplifting entertainment that continues to inspire laughter
and offer solid examples of the humor that made Americans smile
during and after World War II. Cast and credit information is
provided for each film.
