When I was twelve, oh what a joy, Mom told me I was a boy! My tribute to Jane Russell



Last night in memory of the late and very beautiful  Jane Russell I watched one of her's and Bob Hopes best films. The very funny and one of my top five comedies 1952's Son of Paleface.
Which also stars Roy Rogers and his horse Trigger. Russell plays the Torch a robber by night
and a saloon owner as a cover.  Bob Hope is a Harvard grad who has set out to get his
fathers fortune. But when he gets there he finds his father owed many people money. He finds the money after many very funny gags and pranks.   This is a classic.

He's gonna sing, folks. Now's the time to go out and get the popcorn.

Last week I watched the 1952 comedy Road to Bali starring Bob Hope,Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour. Though out the film both Hope and Crosby fight over Lamour well trying to escape death.This is not one of Hopes best comedies.But it's still pretty good.
