4.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Set, March 20, 2007
By W. Mason "Old movie fan" (Shreveport, LA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Despite the packaging - (disks pilled on top of each other so to get at the bottom disk you have to first remove the ones on top.) Very inconvientient to manage. Because of the packiaging I had to rate the set as a 4, but if I was just rating the transfers themselves I would have given it a 5. This is the best transfer of the movies included that I have ever seen. My Favorite Brunette and Road to Bali were especially good - video sharp and clear - sound acceptible for movies of this age. The color on Bali was especially good - others I've seen had very poor, washed out colors. I have been completely happy with this set and would not hesitate to recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Set---Bad Packaging, January 17, 2007
By Linda Spratling (Perth, WA Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you're a fan of Bob Hope-then this is a great buy. Some Classics here including The Lemon Drop Kid, Seven Little Foys, 2 Road Movies ( Rio & Bali ) plus some of Hope's later-and lesser efforts, i.e. How to Commit Marriage etc.
Though not a fan of these later movies they're still interesting to watch, but it's the earlier stuff that makes this set well worth owning-and the price cannot be beaten.
The only drawback is that because of the budget price-tag the set is presented with five double-sided discs virtually stacked on top of each other making them easily damaged if not careful.
However, having said that, I'm very happy with this package at such a bargain price. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good quality Hope - finally!, December 11, 2007
By MusicFilm Fan (Wash., DC) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is based on the one movie from the Bob Hope Collection that I've watched so far -- The Lemon Drop Kid, the classic Damon Runyon Christmas story that introduced the standard "Silver Bells" as sung by Bob, Marilyn Maxwell, and even good old William Frawley (later Fred Mertz of I Love Lucy).

If The Lemon Drop Kid is anything to go by, this set is a real winner. That movie has been remastered for DVD in much, much higher quality than previous DVD versions. Assuming that the rest of the movies are of similar quality, you really can't beat the value here -- 10 films for a very low price.

Despite what the review below says, these are not the old Brentwood DVDs of Hope films. I fully agree with that reviewer that the Brentwood DVDs were very low quality, but I can say with complete certainty that the version of The Lemon Drop Kid in this new set is definitely not the old Brentwood version. The old Brentwood version of that movie was so unwatchable, with skips and bad picture quality, that I took it back to the store for a refund. This new set, by contrast, contains an almost pristine print of The Lemon Drop Kid.

So, the picture and sound quality, the most essential elements of any DVD, are very good here. What are the set's drawbacks? Well, the DVDs offer few extra features, are double-sided, and are stacked inconveniently in the case. But for this price, you can't expect deluxe treatment. At least they seem to have done the most essential thing right in remastering the films (assuming that The Lemon Drop Kid is representative of the overall quality).

If you haven't seen The Lemon Drop Kid, it's worth buying this set just to get it (since the whole set costs little more than many single DVDs). Bob plays the title character, a racetrack tout in Florida for the winter who gets in very hot water with a mobster by convincing the mobster's girlfriend not to place a large bet on what turns out to be a winning horse. After threats from the mobster, the Kid returns to frigid New York at Christmastime to find some kind of scheme that will allow him to compensate the mobster for his lost winnings. As in many Damon Runyon stories, these gamblers and small-time crooks have hearts of gold, so it's a pretty heartwarming affair by the end. Highly recommended.
