5.0 out of 5 stars Bob's Best, June 25, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Bob Hope: The Ultimate Collection (DVD)

This is a great collection of 3 DVDs that covers Bob's television career from 1950 through his final special in 1995. The guest list is a virtual "who's who" of all the big television and movie stars of the period, and given the five decades it covers it really becomes a virtual history of television. Bob is terrific, and the quality of the remastering and packaging is top notch. Made a great gift for my WWII veteran Dad.

2.0 out of 5 stars Undeserving of its Subject, May 29, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Bob Hope: The Ultimate Collection (DVD)

First off, the "remastering" here is deplorable. Five off the rack Bob Hope retrospectives dating from the '60s through the '90's. No attempt to return to the source material and clean it up. Also, the packaging seems to suggest an elaborate anthology especially prepared for this DVD release (timed to coincide with Hope's 100th birthday). Not the case. A major disappointment truly unworthy of its subject, the great Bob Hope.

Rob (Seattle) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bob Hope: The Ultimate Collection (DVD)

A great retrospective of Bob's five decades on television, starting in 1950 and going through the 90's. This is a terrific 3 DVD set, featuring lots of extras that will bring back many memories. The set also features many great guest stars, and almost serves of a "who's who" of celebrities for several generations. The packaging is very deluxe too - it made a great gift for my Dad.
