Editorial Reviews

This program presents a double feature of vintage comedies starring beloved funnyman Bob Hope: in ROAD TO BALI (1952) Hope joins with crooner Bing Crosby to rescue the lovely Dorothy Lamour from a plethora of jungle dangers; and in MY FAVORITE BRUNETTE (1947) Hope plays a baby photographer who gets mixed up with gangsters for a bubbly slapstick spoof of the hardboiled detective genre.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: NR UPC: 637581201221 Manufacturer No: 20122

This review is from: Road to Bali/My Favorite Brunette (DVD)

I'm a huge Bob Hope fan. I have many of his films on tape and DVD. "My Favorite Brunette" was always one of my favorite Bob Hope films. I have an old tape version of "Brunette" that he personally signed for me many years ago. After reading reviews of how great Morengo Films did with this DVD, I readily bought this disc. I was really excited about the prospect of a "Brunette" transfer that would finally be better than the cruddy verison I have on tape or the copy I taped off of The Disney Channel. I can't say how disappointed I was in "Brunette" on this DVD. I swear the film must have been run through a dust bowl before it was transferred. My Disney Channel copy was ten times better, so either a better print exists somewhere or Disney spent time and money making their copy much cleaner. Makes me wonder how much worse the other DVD releases are of "Brunette." "Bali" was just fine on this DVD. Oh well, at least I don't need to rewind a tape.

5.0 out of 5 stars MARENGO COMPLETES RESTORATION, February 14, 2006

This review is from: Road to Bali/My Favorite Brunette (DVD)

Marengo Films has just completed our second restoration of My Favorite Brunette. The older version of this film has been replaced and we believe our customers will welcome the change.

Our company spent thousands of dollars last year replacing several our our company's early prints with better products. DVD software, sound design software and editing software has changed since we first encoded this particular film. We have actively used these new tools and new prints to upgrade our product line.

We believe our customers will be thrilled with both prints.

We appreciate your business and as always we guarantee satisfaction of our products.

Best regards,

Craig Cosgray

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Bob Hope, August 27, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Road to Bali/My Favorite Brunette (DVD)

It is a joy to watch Bob Hope anytime. He was a great American and both of these films are really fun to watch. Road to Bali is an excellent print and My Favorite Brunette is obviously a little less so, but it is still a very nice print... probably a "B". I found both films up to par, the studio has cleaned the sound on them and for the money this DVD is a very nice bargan.
