Road To Rio
To avoid being charged with arson after burning down a circus, Hot Lips Barton (Bob Hope) and Scat Sweeney (Bing Crosby) stow away on an ocean bound ship.Aboard the vessel, the duo fall for Lucia Maria de Andrade (Dorothy Lamour), who is under the spell of her evil aunt (Gale Sondergaard), who has arranged a marriage for the young beauty.This film also features musical guests, The Wiere Brothers and The Andrew Sisters.
The Great Lover
Bob Hope stars as Freddie Hunter, a reporter who is chaperoning a troop of scouts aboard an exotic ocean liner.However, Freddie would rather pay more attention to Duchess Alexandria (Rhonda Fleming) than his scouts.But Freddie has more to be concerned with than his scouts and the Duchess - a homicidal gambler looking to frame him for his murderous deeds.
Son Of Paleface
Following the hit comedy, The Paleface, Bob Hope returns to the screen as Junior Potter, son of Painless Peter Potter, the hapless hero of the first film.The Harvard-bred Junior heads out west to claim his father's inheritance.Jane Russell portrays "Mike", an outlaw who continually has to save our hapless hero.Also starring Roy Rogers and Trigger, who play themselves.Hope teams with the pair to help get to the bottom of a gold shipment robbery.
Paris Holiday
Bob Hope co-stars with French comedian Fernandel in Paris Holiday.Hope plays Robert Hunter, an actor traveling to Paris to purchase a screenplay, only to find himself mixed up with counterfeits.While Hunter has his eye on the diplomat Ann McCall (Martha Hyer - Houseboat, The Chase), a sexy spy named Zara (the luscious Anita Ekberg - Miss Sweden 1950), has her eye on the screenplay.
The Private Navy Of Sgt. O'Farrell
It only seems fitting that after spending so many years entertaining American troops, Bob Hope enlists into the Navy (on film that is) as the title character in The Private Navy Of Sgt. O'Farrell.When a Japanese torpedo hits a cargo shop containing a shipment of beer, Sgt. O'Farrell decides to rescue the beverages and deliver some nurses to the outpost for his men.The troops, however, are more surprised to receive several male nurses and Phyllis Diller!
