FORREST J. ACKERMAN (1916-2008) I doubt if there’s a reader of this publication who doesn’t at least know the name of the late Forrest J. Ackerman.

Known affectionately among his fans and followers as “Uncle Forry,” or “Mr. Science Fiction,” he became a legend in his own time, admired by the majority of sci-fi/monster aficionados.

Forry was, of course, probably best-known as the editor of Famous Monsters of Filmland, (published 1958-1983) a magazine that set the standards for all monster mags then, and now.

The “Acker-Monster” was also a prolific writer, with dozens and dozens of stories published worldwide throughout his career. He assisted in founding the L.A. Science-Fiction Fantasy Society and the National Fantasy Fan Federation.

Forry held fort in his Los Angeles-based “Ackermansion” where he proudly displayed his vast collection of over 300,000 books and pieces of movie memorabilia. Lucky fans were indeed treated to a visit that can only be described as “astounding” upon entering the mansion.

Forry passed away on December 4, 2008 of heart failure at the age of 92.

Truly a legend lost.

I am a collector, NOT a dealer. I will pay TOP DOLLAR for your posters.

PLEASE CALL ME! 1. Return of the Vampire-close up card of Lugosi’s face 2. Invisible Woman Insert 3. A & C Meet Frankenstein-Window Card 4. Mummy’s Tomb or Hand-3 sheet or 6 sheet 5. Mummy Title Card or Window card-I will pay LARGE for these.

6. House of Dracula & Wolf Man 3 sheets 7. Window cards- House of Dracula, Son of Dracula, Invisible Ray, Old Dark House 8. Mad Love, White Zombie, Old Dark House anything If you refer me to someone with these, I will pay you!!!!

A TRIBUTE TO FORRY: MCW will present an extended tribute to Forrest J. Ackerman in our next issue. Dr. V will be remembering the AckerMonster in his own inimitable style. We invite READERS to give us their MEMORIES OF FORRY, either by emailing them to Dr V at: Drvollinmd@aol.com, or by logging on to our website, www.mcwonline.com, and using the form (linked on our front page) there.

Movie Horses are Still the Talk of the Town in Chincoteague, Virginia

by Deborah Painter On Virginia’s green and still partly pristine Eastern Shore, a movie released in 1961, and the real life family who inspired it, are still popular subjects in 2008. Misty, a 20th Century Fox production, was based on the immensely popular juvenile novel by Marguerite Henry. Filmed on location on the island of Chincoteague and nearby Assateague Island National Seashore, it starred David Ladd (son of Alan Ladd) as Paul Beebe, Arthur O’Connell as “Grandpa” Clarence Beebe, Pam Smith as Maureen Beebe and Anne Seymour as Ida Beebe.

With the exception of Duke Farley portraying the fire chief, real town folks were enlisted to play themselves in the movie. Paul Sawtell and Bert Shafter composed the lush score. The story is a simple but unusual one of two children who come from Philadelphia to be raised by their grandparents after both parents have died. Maureen and Paul help their grandparents gentle foals raised at their ranch, and use the money they earn from helping and from doing odd jobs for a Secret Mission—to buy a beautiful and fast wild Assateague mare named The Phantom next Pony Penning Day! Their grandfather has already told them that the wild animals are untamable as adults but Paul and Maureen don’t believe it. Paul and his grandpa are set to help the locals round up the small horses and their foals in July of that year, and they successfully capture The

Phantom because she has a shaggy little filly in tow. Maureen and Paul buy both The Phantom and little Misty and take them to the ranch. The techniques their grandpas taught them enable them to tame The Phantom and even teach her to race for next year’s Pony Penning Day event. However, the mare never adjusts emotionally to being away from her mate, The Pied Piper, and just days before the big race, the Beebe children release her and allow her to swim back to him. Misty, however, chooses to remain with them.

Had it not been for the Pony Penning Day, begun in the 1920s to sell young feral ponies of Assateague Island for the benefit of the Chincoteague Fire Department, Marguerite Henry might never have heard of the Chincoteague ponies. The children’s book author heard from her boss at her book publishing company of the unusual Pony Swim and Auction held each July at an obscure town called Chincoteague. In 1947 Mrs. Henry stayed at Miss Molly’s Bed and Breakfast while writing of a family in Chincoteague who had a business wherein they tamed and sold the colts and fillies of the wild ponies.

The Beebe family owned a “ranch” and Mrs. Henry wanted one of the ponies, a pretty cream and tan filly named Misty, which had been the only offspring of a favorite of the Beebe’s grandchildren,

The Phantom. Misty’s mother escaped them and swam back to be with her wild mate. The author needed Misty for several books featuring her. The Beebes did not want to sell Misty until she made a deal with them to put their grandchildren, Maureen and Paul, in at least one. The result was the novel Misty of Chincoteague, which inspired Stormy, Misty’s Foal, Sea Star, Orphan of Chincoteague, and several others.

Misty eventually came back from Marguerite Henry’s home in Illinois to live the rest of her life with the Beebes,

and rear a foal named Phantom Wings and later Stormy, continuing her bloodlines. At the time of the filming of Misty, the real Misty was pregnant; she was certainly too old by then to play herself as a filly. She did make a personal appearance at the Island Roxy Theater on Main Street at the big Chincoteague premiere, and she even put her hoof prints in cement outside the theater’s box office. Mrs. Henry wrote her name above the hoof prints. Misty died in 1972 but her books and movie are on the lips of townspeople and visitors alike to this very day. A bronze sculpture of

Misty cavorting with the Beebe ranch ducks and chickens is on display at the waterside park in Chincoteague.

The Chincoteague Pony Centre on Chicken City Road is an equestrian center offering riding lessons and pony rides from American Riding Instructor Association certified instructors as well as the Chincoteague Drill Team performing evenings during the summer tourist season.

It’s a riding ring and stable! It’s a museum! It’s a theater showing documentaries! It’s all four!

The Memories of Misty Museum is a fascinating museum devoted to the works of Marguerite Henry and the collectibles associated with the Misty film and Misty in general. There are rare production stills, posters and movie tie-in books like Misty Makes a Movie, published by Rand McNally in 1961. Many Marguerite Henry novels were filmed during the 1960s and 1970s, including Justin Morgan Had a Horse, and these are also featured in the Museum. Breyer collectible statuettes of Misty and various rare Misty toys fill display cases. If your child wants a horse statuette to take home the Center has plenty in the gift shop. The Center will even sell you a live Chincoteague pony if you want one! Some real life Misty descendants are stabled here, waiting to give pony rides or a lesson by appointment. The Centre also offers birthday parties by appointment.

The Centre is open 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday from Memorial Day through Labor Day. In the spring and fall the Centre’s hours are primarily limited to weekends and it is best to call ahead before coming. The

shop at the Centre closes in the winter and the ponies are taken to a mainland farm. Contact the Centre at (757) 3362776, (757) 336-6313 or email them at ponycntr@intercom.net The Pony Penning Day and Carnival is held the last Wednesday and Thursday in July. David Ladd appeared during the 2008 Pony Penning Day celebration at what remains of the original Beebe Ranch at Chincoteague, along with Nightmist, a Misty descendant. Ladd grew up to be a senior production executive at MGM. He produces films with his own company, David Ladd Films. Some of his credits include Mulholland Falls and Get Shorty.

The Island Roxy still attracts the crowds for first run films each evening and night. When my friends and I visited in July 2008, The Dark Knight was showing. Located at 4074 Main Street, Chincoteague, the Island Roxy was built in 1945 and has its original pink and green terrazzo in the lobby and original green vine motif on the ceiling. On the sidewalk in front of the box office are Misty’s hoof prints. Marguerite Henry wrote Misty’s name above her prints.

Misty is no longer being shown at the Island Roxy, but it showed almost every afternoon for decades. Call the Theater at (757) 336-6301 for movie schedules.

Vintage theaters have mostly been torn down in Virginia; but here on the Eastern Shore some survive and are in operation. Belle Haven, about forty-four miles away, boasts the 80 year old Idle Hour Theater, owned by the same family since the 1960s.

You can’t miss a trip to Chincoteague if you love the film Misty, movie collectibles, old theaters, and horses, or if you just want to enjoy some white sandy beaches, fresh sea breezes, and tall pines.

The Chincoteague Pony Centre has a comprehensive collection of popular Breyer horse collectibles inspired by the “Misty” movie and books. (Photos - David Hawk)

JUST KIDS TO SELL AL DITTRICH LONE RANGER COLLECTION AT AUCTION Just Kids Nostalgia of Huntington, NY has been chosen to sell the collection of Lone Ranger memorabilia gathered over a period of more than 50 years by well-known collector, Al Dittrich.

According to Ken Farrell of Just Kids, Dittrich started collecting at a very young age, and he loved the cowboys, especially The Lone Ranger. He told Farrell, “During the early 1950’s I was watching most all of the TV Westerns that were broadcast at the time, but the Lone Ranger had a very special appeal to me. As a child (and still) I just thought that he was so cool in the way he carried himself, his mannerisms and the way he spoke and of course the fact that everything about him was black & white, and by this I don’t mean the fact the show was broadcast in B&W, but that he stood for what was right and just, and I knew right away who the bad men were and what the Lone Ranger was trying to do to stop them in their unlawful ways. Of course the plots that he devised to do this always seemed great to me.”

One of Al’s earliest collecting memories is about the Hartland figure. “When the Hartland Plastics Lone Ranger and Silver came out, I thought it was beautiful and I had to have it. But these things were priced at 2 for $3.98 as I recall, so I had to save a lot of dimes that was my allowance to purchase it. But I got it, and it’s still part of my collection today.” By

the way, Al is keeping his original Lone Ranger Hartland...the one for sale in the collection he acquired later and it’s in the original box.

According to Farrell, one of the things about this collection is the impressive quantity of boxed toys. In many cases Al passed an item by it by if it didn’t have a box. Included are the elusive Action bank, the strong box, sets of guns and rifles, dolls, outfits, push puppets, slippers, and perhaps the ultimate in “boxed” items, a Jets cereal box featuring the Lone Ranger on the front and back with the original cereal still inside!

Al always went the extra mile to find the scarcest movie posters. This collection features onesheets, half-sheets, three-sheets, lobby cards, press books and more covering the 1950’s Clayton Moore films. Lots of US variations and many scarce and unusual foreign issues. Other movie material covers the serials to The Legend of The Lone Ranger.

Store displays and advertising posters for Lone Ranger products include an early Decca Records cardboard cut-out, a large Marx action figures display, cardboard countertops for boots, pens, flashlights and the like. There are numerous posters with Clayton Moore endorsing gasoline, sunglasses and other products.

If you like original art, you’ll find it here. Originals for Golden Books, comic books, as well as daily and Sunday strips are part of this massive collection. Comic books include Four Colors, Gold Keys, give-a-ways and more. There is also a full set of the almost impossible-to-find pulp magazines, a full set of the G & D Books, British Annuals and The Lone Ranger Rides (Putnam) signed by Fran Striker.

There are approximately 1,000 items in the auction plus 500 more for immediate sale. The auction date is set for the last week in January. A full color catalog will be issued and mailed two weeks before the auction date. All bidding methods will be accommodated: phone, mail and on-line. For more information, please go the Just Kids Nostalgia website: www.justkidsnostalgia.com.

Ken Farrell can be reached at info@justkidsnostalgia.com or by phone at 631-423-8449.

The auction Closes on Tues.

Jan. 27 Just Kids is located at 342 New York Ave. Huntington, NY. A full color catalog is available for $15.

L.A. COLLECTOR SEEKS ANTI-COLLECTING AND HOBBY ORDINANCES INJUNCTION Los Angeles, California – Memorabilia and book collector Richard Hopp has filed a civil suit in the Los Angeles Superior Court requesting declaratory relief to determine

the validity of City ordinances and seeking an injunction restricting the City of Los Angeles, Los Angeles Police Department and other City agencies from prohibiting enforcement and criminal prosecution of Mr. Hopp’s collecting and hobby activities.

An issued press release states, “Mr. Hopp is and has been an avid collector of books, documents, and ephemera as a hobby for his personal use. He does not hold himself out as a business or occupation with regard to his collecting and hobby activities.

“Mr. Hopp actively promotes his collecting and hobby and through advertising in many publications, on websites, and various similar public notices. He attends flea markets, swap meets, trade shows, garage sales, and collector meetings.

“Mr. Hopp is not in business as a secondhand book dealer, pawnshop, pawnbroker, or seller of any kind of books, documents,and ephemera; he merely collects and seeks to reach a larger audience with regard to the items and subjects in which he has an interest.

“The City has enacted a series of ordinances as part of the Municipal Code for the City of Los Angeles relating to the regulation of secondhand book dealers and secondhand dealers businesses which the City seeks to enforce against Mr. Hopp “The employees of the City and the Los Angeles Police Department have arbitrarily stated that he is a secondhand book dealer and as such is a business, thus requiring him maintain a local police permit and license as a business.

“City of Los Angeles considers his collecting and hobby activates as an unpermitted and unlicensed business and that will lead to his being subjected to arrest and prosecution.

“The California Department of Justice and the City of Los Angeles, Office of Finance have made written determinations and conclusions that he is neither a business nor an occupation, thus not required to obtain any license or permit for his collecting and hobby activities.

“These unwarranted actions by City employees subject Mr. Hopp and others like him to potential criminal prosecution and is a violation and interference of free exercise of his right guaranteed under the First and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution and applicable sections of the California Constitution. The City refuses Mr. Hopp any administrative hearings or public consideration.”

More information on this matter, which could have huge ramifications for all collectors, is available at Mr. Hopp’s website: www.buyingitall.com.

It looks like Bob lost his head in “Call Me B’wana”

A Reappraisal of the Sixties Films of Bob Hope

by Joseph J. McGrenra, CFCM

Introduction Articles or books on the films that Bob Hope made after leaving Paramount Studios will usually praise The Facts of Life, mention The Road to Hong Kong saying either it was one Road too many or the weakest of the “Road” series and dismiss the rest in a sentence or two labeling them as bombs, embarrassing, or just plain unfunny films of low quality. Particular the films make during the decade of sixties are seen as the low point of Hope’s movie career.

Hope’s post Paramount career covers a lot of ground and a lot of yearsfrom the mid fifties through the midnineties. In fact, this period should be divided up into three separate periods (the Post Paramount 1950’s films, the 1960’s films, and the post 1970 films).

With the exception of The Road to Hong Kong, it had been years since I had sat through any of those Bob Hope films from the sixties, and I never had watched

them in a concentrated period of time.

So, I decided to seek out and watch Bob’s film work from the 1960s, and this article will present an analysis/evaluation of both the films and Bob Hope’s work in them.

Off to a Good Start An argument could be made that the early to mid fifties was a strong period for Bob Hope’s film work. After leaving Paramount Studios, his best work of that decade was well behind him, and he had stumbled. While still at Paramount, he made some of his best comedies-The Lemon Drop Kid, Son of Paleface to mention two examples, and he even stretched himself taking dramatic roles in The Seven Little Foys and the much underrated Beau James. However, once he left the studio, his work seemed to suffer. It’s hard to put a finger on why this was the case, as these movies (The Iron Petticoat, Paris Holiday, and Alias Jesse James) are

some of the most expensive films of his career. Of these late 50’s efforts one may be the worst feature that he ever made (Paris Holiday), but of these three movies, only Alias Jesse James comes anywhere close to his earlier film work, but it was a pale of his previous Western farces, The Paleface and Son of Paleface.

Bob Hope and Lucille Ball had worked together several times in the past including 1949’s Sorrowful Jones, 1950’s Fancy Pants, and Bob’s classic appearance on I Love Lucy ). Now it was a new decade and both were middle aged and trying to get their film careers back on track. Lucille Ball had recently finished playing Lucy Ricardo in both I Love Lucy and Lucy and Desi Comedy Hour, and she was eager to demonstrate her versatility. Her bid to demonstrate her ability to play other parts would result in the 1960 film The Facts of Life and the 1960/1961 Broadway musical Wildcat.

Both Bob and Lucy had a lot riding on

The Facts of Life, and they made a film that is one of their most memorable.

This starts off with Bob Hope (playing Larry Gilbert) waiting at an airport, for who the audience assumes is his wife. Then Lucille Ball (playing Kitty Weaver) is seen disembarking and Bob runs off and kisses her. So the audience is thinking a husband welcoming his wife home, and then Lucy’s voiceover is heard saying “Am I really doing this, me, Kitty Weaver, Pasadena housewife, Secretary of the PTA, den mother for the Cub Scouts, have I really come to Monterey to spend a weekend with the husband of my best friend?” At that point the movie shifts to the titles and the title song, “The Facts of Life” sung by Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme.

After the opening credits, Lucy’s character reflects back on how the characters got to this point, and the movie shifts into a flashback of a Halloween dance at their country club. If opening a

22 • MOVIE COLLECTOR’S WORLD • #728

movie in 1960 with Bob Hope and Lucille Ball as a pair committing adultery was not enough of a shock, the next scene showed this was going to be different type of movie. Hope’s character was serving as the MC of an awards ceremony. Now by this time, Hope had MC’ed a countless number (easily in the thousands) of events, and this would have been an easy scene to play just as if he (Bob Hope) was MCing and event, but that’s not the way the scene was written nor the way Hope played it. We’ve all been to these types of events, where the MC is trying to be funny and the audience is laughing to be polite, and that’s how Hope played the scene. As a “regular guy” who probably watched Bob Hope on television and thought he could be just as funny, but everyone but he realizes that he (the character of Larry Gilbert) is far from a Bob Hope.

This must have been among the hardiest scenes if not the hardiest scene that Bob Hope ever played. To take something he did and did well and to play it, so the MC comes off as mediocre was perhaps the best acting ever done by Bob Hope in his motion picture career.

Lucy’s character, Kitty Weaver, comes off as bored with her life. Not just her life, but the life of her family and friends. We find out that she has been married for 15 years. During the car ride home with her husband (Don DeFore playing Jack Weaver); the couple has the type of argument/discussion that lets the audience witness a marriage much different than that of Ricky and Lucy Ricardo. The couples are getting ready

#728 • MOVIE COLLECTOR’S WORLD • 22

to go on a joint vacation. The interesting thing about the trappings of the couples shown are just like those in many of the popular television comedies of the era, but the relationships are much more realistic. Later that night, we see both Lucy and Bob try to be romantic with their spouses. Kitty goes to get changed and comes back to find her husband sound asleep. Larry tries to be romantic and his wife gets called away by the maid, telling her that their son is not feeling well. They call a doctor, and Larry’s wife (Ruth Hussey playing Mary Gilbert) decides that she will be joining a group vacation of three couples a few days late.

Meanwhile, Kitty’s husband gets a call that his boss’s son was in a car accident, so he has to take over at the office for a few days, also joining the vacation late.

So Kitty and Larry end up sitting next to each other on the plane on the way to Acapulco Kitty starting warming up to Larry, when she finds out that he paints. But the third couple is still with them, Doc and Connie Mason (played

by Philip Ober and Marianne Stewart).

Well that third couple gets sick after their first night in Acapulco leaving Kitty and Larry alone. So the following day, they decide to take the already chartered fishing boat. While fishing the couple finds out that they actually have a lot in common like going to the same high school and had the same homeroom teacher. This is a great scene that has the two singing their old high school fight song, which it turns that Larry had written. Once she snags a fish, Kitty asks for Larry’s help and he helps her

reel in the 150 pound fish and without thinking she kisses him. They get back to the resort and find the Masons still sick. Perhaps feeling a bit guilty, they both decide to eat in their room, but the resolve doesn’t last as Larry calls Kitty to ask her to join him in the bar for a drink, which she does. Kitty then asks Larry to dance, as the audience realizes by an impatient waiter they dance for longer than expected. After dinner, the couple looks out at the ocean and start talking about if ten years younger they would be having a midnight swim, when they run to get their suits on and get in the water. Kitty develops a sneeze and Larry volunteers to bring over a bottle of bourbon. Both are seen trying to pick out the proper outfit, but finally Larry decides to send it over with one the hotel staff.

The next day they visit some of the local stores and act like tourists. That night they go back to their separate rooms, but decide to get together for a late night snack and a card game. Both spouses call to say that neither will be able to make it, while the Masons remain ill, so Kitty and Larry spend the rest of their vacation together fishing, swimming, painting, and talking. One of the strengths of the movie is that it is told from Kitty’s perspective with her narration and commentary, which gives her character depth and through her character Larry’s character is given depth and substance. A tearful scene on their last night together is immediately followed by Kitty and Larry back at home with their spouses. Larry is

immediately slapped back into reality, as both his wife and sons (and even the maid) seem to show no interest in what he did, even complaining about their gifts. Kitty has it no better, as on her first morning back; her husband is more interested in the paper than her.

She starts out trying to tell him out the fishing, then about all the time Larry and her spent together, and finally tells him Larry and her fell in love. As the scene progresses she gets angrier and angrier with her husband (he is ignoring her), and finally, he raises his head and asks a question about the fishing.

Sometime later Kitty runs into Larry looking in a store window of a couple on a fishing boat. From Kitty’s narration and a quick montage of scenes, it is revealed that as before the trips the couples send a great deal of time together. Finally at an event at their club, the couple steals a dance, where Larry proposes they try to sneak off and get together during the coming week. Over the next few scenes, their attempts to get to set up a date are shown. Finally, they sneak off to a drive-in movie, where their cleaner pulls up next to them, and as they try to get out of the drive-in, the horn gets stuck causing a bit of a scene. The next day, cleaner makes a comment about seeing Larry at the drive-in, but he denies it, and as they were in Kitty’s car his wife is convinced it is a case of mistaken identity. Over the next few scenes, they try to break it off but continue to run into each other. After finding themselves without their spouses at a dance at their club, the couple decides to sneak off to a hotel to “talk things over.” Kitty asks for some coffee and Larry goes off to get it for her, but has trouble finding his way back to the hotel, as the manager has turned off the hotel sign. Thinking she’s been abandoned, Kitty calls a cab, and the manager then rents the room out, which leads to a great scene when Larry gets back with the coffee.

At this point, Larry proposes they attempt to sneak off together over the Christmas holidays to a cabin that a friend of his owns. Kitty struggles for a while, but eventually agrees leaving a note for her husband telling him that she’s leaving him. At this point the flashbacks catch up to the beginning of the movie. On their way to the cabin, there is a great scene, where it starts to rain, and the roof to the convertible gets stuck.

Larry tries to fix it, but by the time he admits, he needs help, they are soaked.

During this drive, the “romantic glow” starts to wear off and the couple starts to bicker. Finally, the car is fixed and they get to the cabin to find that the roof is leaking. The couple starts planning for their future. As they start to face the future, the costs of their two divorces and the impact on their children, they have a major fight, and come to the realization that they are making a mistake and the race is on to retrieve the note.

They book a flight home under an assumed named, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Johnson, but run into acquaintances

#728 • MOVIE COLLECTOR’S WORLD • 23

at the airport. Because they are trying to appear not to be together, and not wanting to claim the tickets (under the assumed name), they end up losing the tickets. Larry saves the day, by convincing the husband of the couple they ran into to stay behind and let Kitty use his ticket, because he knows a couple of young, available girls and the two of them could have a fun night. Kitty makes it home but her husband and kids are already there. It appears that no one has read the note and she asks her husband to just throw it in the fire. As Kitty goes to comfort their daughter, he takes it out of his pocket and throws it into the fire.

This quick scene is very ambiguous, as it appears that the note may have been opened, but it is not clear that it has been read or if it had been read if it was taken seriously. Flash forward to New Year’s Eve, and the whole neighborhood is at the club. Larry is shown with his wife discussing plans for the upcoming year, and it is obvious where he hopes their relationship will improve. Larry and Kitty share a last dance together as the movie fades out.

The Facts of Life is without a doubt one of the best films that either Bob Hope or Lucille Ball ever made. Although, it was a critical and commercial success, and it is still highly regarded by critics, the film is as well known as other work done by the two, but perhaps that is because both were playing against type.

Throughout his career, Bob Hope got a lot of mileage out of never being nominated for an Academy Award. Although commentary on his career usually point to his dramatic performances in The Seven Little Foys and the very under rated Beau James as being the best opportunity that he ever had for a nomination, a case could be made that his performance in The Facts of Life, as not only was he in his element (a comedy), but he created a three dimensional character separate from “Bob Hope.”

Next Bob made Bachelor in Paradise, which is a film whose reputation has unfairly suffered in the years since it was released. It was a well chosen follow-up to The Facts of Life featuring Bob Hope as Adam J. Niles, a writer. This was a role that a decade earlier could have been played by Cary Grant or a decade later

by James Garner. As with The Facts of Life, his character is middle aged and moves into a typical middle class suburban neighborhood, but he is a writer and his purpose is to research the lifestyles of the residents for a new book.

Hope’s character, Adam J. Niles, is not a “young Bob with a quick one liner”, but a middle aged bachelor whose occupation as a writer makes him seem mysterious and interesting to the housewives in the neighborhood, while making the husbands feel a bit threatened. Niles was Bob playing a role, as opposed to a Bob Hope vehicle. Yes, Hope did use his radio and eventually television writers to “punch up” his movie scripts, but this was not something that he would do indiscriminately. Donald McCaffrey’s

Last Man Standing - Bob an dhis men after finding the beer in “The Private Navy of Sgt. O’Farrell.”

book The Road to Comedy: The Films of Bob Hope recounts the recollection of Bachelor in Paradise’s writer, Hal Kanter’s, that “…

Bob told his radio and television writers not to “sprinkle” gags in the script…” (Page 130) Hope had made a choice with his first two films of the new decade to focus on less traditional Hope type comedies and to attempt more character driven roles.

Bachelor in Paradise was a character driven comedy and exactly the type of film Bob should have been making at this point in his career. Selecting roles that allowed him to play older, more complex characters.

On the Road Again It is fitting and appropriate that the 1960’s gave Bob Hope (and his pal Bing Crosby) the chance to revisit their famous Road films. There was a ten year gap between Road to Bali and The Road to Hong Kong. This 1960’s addition to the long running series had perhaps the most complex and involved journey from idea to the big screen of any of the entries in the series. It was based on a story called “The Bamboo Kid”, which was purchased by comedian Danny Kaye, with intentions of developing it into a film in which he would star. How far he got with it is not known, but in 1959 Kaye sold the rights to Bob Hope, and this became the seed that grew into The Road to Hong Kong.

It is often and correctly pointed out that The Road to Hong Kong is the only

film in the series with a “The” in the title. What is not usually mentioned is that the very beginning of the film (the Crosby/Hope duet “Teamwork”), when what appears to be the titles of the previous “Road” pictures are shown on a backdrop, each of them have had a “The” inserted (so instead of Road to Singapore, what is shown is The Road to Singapore, instead of Road to Zanzibar, what is shown is The Road to Zanzibar, etc.). It is not clear why this subtle change was made. It could have been with The Road to Hong Kong being was filmed in England, a slight difference between American and English grammar accounted for insertion of the “The’s” or perhaps it was a way to legally avoid any potential lawsuits from Paramount Studios, who had made the first six entries in the series.

Personally, I have always felt that The Road to Hong Kong is extremely underrated even by fans of the series.

Usually, it is dismissed the weakest entry of the series, but an objective evaluation finds it to be a worthy entry that has held up well. By the time this film was made, the film careers of each the three stars were winding down.

Crosby still had the some quality film work ahead of him-singing a couple of great music numbers in Robin and the Seven Hoods (“Mr. Booze” and “Style” with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin), a great performance in the terrible remade of Stagecoach, perhaps the greatest performance of his career in the overlooked

and underrated Dr. Cook’s Garden, and serving as a host in the classic That’s Entertainment, and Bob Hope would continue to make films for over 30 years (his last being in the mid-1990’s), but 1960’s would be his last true decade as a film star. Except for some supporting roles and cameos, it was the last major film of Dorothy Lamour’s career.

There is no way to avoid the biggest weakness of the film, which is the female lead. The decision was made that either Dorothy Lamour was too old or that she no long had the box office appeal that she had in the past to play the female lead. This was unfair and did not give her the credit she deserved for her contribution to the series. At the time The Road to Hong Kong was made, Lamour was younger than Crosby and Hope had been during the filming of Road to Bali, and she looked fantastic.

Her replacement, Joan Collins, was a talented actress and performed well but did not have the chemistry with Crosby and Hope that Lamour did. By the early 1960’s, Dorothy Lamour was truthfully not as popular, as she had been a decade earlier, but she was a vital part of the appeal of the Road films. She is in the film in a rather large cameo (including a musical number), but her presence as the third member of the team is missed.

Perhaps the Producers should have looked to Road to Zanzibar and Road to Morocco for inspiration. In those films, Una Merkel and Dona Drake respec-

tively played sidekicks to Miss Lamour.

This would have been the perfect solution for The Road to Hong Kong with Dorothy as a senior spy and Joan Collins as her younger protégé/assistant. That approach would have acknowledged Miss Lamour’s importance to the series and given her a larger role, while Joan Collins could have been on board to help with the box office receipts.

But that weakness aside, there is a lot to admire in and about The Road to Hong Kong. Although, Bing and Bob were both approaching 60 and looked older than they had in Road to Bali, their chemistry was still there and better than ever. The plot deals with Bob losing his memory and in the process of getting it back memorizing a stolen fuel formula, which is then accidentally destroyed.

Joan Collins portrays a female spy working for a group known as the Third Echelon, who first mistakenly gives the formula to Bob and then attempts to retrieve it, but she ends up eventually switches sides and trying to help Bing and Bob. Watching the movie, both Bing and Bob genuinely seem to be having

a blast, and although their film careers were winding down, each had a lot of good years (personally and professional ahead of them). The Road to Hong Kong gets off to a terrific start with the pretitle Bing and Bob duet, “Teamwork”, which is one of their very best duets.

At one point during the film, Bing and Bob are launched into space in place of two chimps and the various visual gags during their space voyage with Crosby and Hope wearing spacesuits and in a rocket built for the chimps are reminiscent of scenes from some of the great silent comedies.

Two of the cameos stand out and are among the highlights of the film. After Bob loses his memory, Bing takes him to a specialist to try and his memory back. That Doctor is played by Peter Sellers and the scene is probably the best cameo in the history of the Road movies.

Watching Sellers interact with Bing and Bob is a pleasure, and results in a scene that is the definition of classic comedy.

Toward the end of the film, Bing and Bob are on the run from the villains, when they stumble across a nightclub where

Dorothy Lamour is performing. As I said, she looks tremendous and the chemistry with Bing and Bob was still intact.

There are some interesting questions about this last Road film. Several sources claim that there were three versions of scenes filmed for The Road to Hong-one for America, one for England, and one for non-English speaking countries, and if true, what happened to these various versions? Also, every article/source on the movie lists a cameo by Zsa Zsa Gabor as a nurse, but I have never seen her on television, on the VHS version, nor on the DVD version. Recently, the IMDB web-site included a note that Miss Gabor’s cameo was deleted, but provides no documentation for that fact.

Final Film with Lucy I have never understood the hostility that exists by critics towards Bob’s final film with Lucy. After their success in The Facts of Life, it was not surprising that Bob Hope and Lucille Ball were teamed for another film. It would have been easy for them to commission a comedy film from scratch, but after their success with The Facts of Life, they wisely took a different route. They took a Broadway play written by Ira Levin about a theater critic whose wife ends up writing a play that he ends up reviewing and adapted it for the big screen.

This is a strong original story on the traditional husband/wife conflict, and both Bob and Lucy again play characters as opposed to their standard comic personas. Bob’s character is egoistical and although he clearly loves his wife feels threatened from the moment she announces that she is going to write a play. The further she gets with getting it staged the sharper and more frequent his putdowns and insults become. Lucy doesn’t play her “Wacky redhead” from television, but an intelligent woman who ends up writing a play more because of her husband’s attitude than because of her desire to be a playwright.

Hope has some fairly dramatic moments in this picture-the scene where he has a discussion with his son telling him, why he has to review the play, followed later by a powerful scene where Hope has to tell the boy that he is not going to review the play and not attending opening night. His character (named Parker Ballantine) is a loving husband and father, but in many ways not a likeable guy, which makes the movie all the more intriguing. Ballantine realizes this and throughout the movie tries to overcome his shortcomings. Hope gives a strong, strong performance. Outside of a recurring joke with his back going out and a great scene on an escalator, Hope played down the comedy.

Parker Ballantine is a three dimensional character, and the audience learn that although he is married, but also that it is his second marriage. He has a son from that first marriage, he and his current wife want to have a child together but Lucy’s character is having trouble conceiving. His first wife and mother of

his son is also in the film and is played

by Marilyn Maxwell. Like The Facts of Life, the comedy here is sophisticated.

Ballantine loves his wife, but when she decides to write a play he feels threatened. First he patronizes her, and as she progresses he actively tries to discourage her. At one point, it looks like they will get divorced, before they both realize their love and commitment and agree to try again.

I have always felt that the disappointment with this film has more to do with the fact it’s not a traditional comedy than an objective appraisal of the film.

Both Bob and Lucy give strong, strong performances, and it’s a shame that this did not lead to another teaming of Bob and Lucy.

It Should Have Been Called My Favorite Secret Agent In the 1940’s and 1950’s, Bob Hope made three of his best comedies (My Favorite Blonde, My Favorite Brunette, and My Favorite Spy) that were spoofs of the detective and spy genres. Call Me Bwana could be seen as a 1960’s attempt to create a successor to those classic films.

Bob is cast as Matthew Merriweather, a famous explorer/writer, whose expertise is Africa. However, the audience learns early on that it was not Hope who had done the exploring, but a deceased relative. When a U.S. space capsule containing important information malfunctions and crashes in Africa, the Government calls on supposed expert Matthew Merriweather to assist in recovering it. Of course as always happens in films like this, there is a pair of foreign agents (Doctor Ezra Mungo played by Lionel Jeffries and Luba played by Anita Ekberg) also after the spacecraft.

The script is not nearly as good as were the scripts for My Favorite Blonde, My Favorite Brunette, or My Favorite Spy, but the concept was similar. There is however a great scene early in the film.

The introduction to Hope’s character of Matthew Merriweather is set in what appears to be his home in Africa, but when he throws open the window, it is shown Bob is actually in a New York City apartment.

One of the strengths of this film was to be the fact that it was to be filmed on location at the Mount Kenya Safari Club in Africa, but an unstable political situation in Kenya forced the cancellation of those plans. Since so much preproduction work had been done and there was an existing standing African jungle set standing at Pinewood Studios in England, filming was shifted. The John Wayne film, Hatari!, that was made at approximately the same time dealt with game hunters in Africa. If filmed on a back lot, it would have been a standard adventure film, but it was filmed at Tanzania, and that made the film special.

Perhaps location shooting would have made Call Me Bwana unique and made a fair to average film something special.

Starting in the late fifties, there were

#728 • MOVIE COLLECTOR’S WORLD • 25

numerous compilation films with clips from a variety of comedy films with most of the best ones produced by Robert Youngson. In 1963, Bob Hope got his opportunity in the rarely seen The Sound of Laughter, which featured clips from the Educational comedy shorts from the 1930s, including young Bob Hope from his first film, 1934’s Going Spanish.

The “Kid” Films Hope would now move on to a series of films that would cast him as either a father or in father like roles. Sometimes he would be a bachelor with fatherhood suddenly thrust on him (A Global Affair), but in most he was a widower.

A Global Affair was an interesting attempt to combine the sophisticated Bachelor in Paradise type of comedy, a traditional Bob Hope comedy, and a family comedy. Rather than a widower, the script casts Hope as an American diplomat named Frank Larrimore. When a baby is abandoned at the United Nations, Hope is assigned the job of taking care of the infant. Throw into the movie are interest a bevy of attractive woman representing various countries that are suddenly attracted to Bob and baby, and you have A Global Affair.

To me, this film is a real missed opportunity, but not for a reason that I have ever seen in print. In 1960, Director Billy Wilder felt that the United Nations was a great setting for a comedy, and he got at least as far as a 40 page treatment for a film called A Day at the United Nations that would have reunited the Marx Brothers, but with their age and health problems, the movie never got made. Fast forward a couple years and A Global Affair puts Bob Hope in the United Nations. Now the Marx Brothers and Bob Hope had totally different styles, and I am not attempting to suggest that A Day At The United Nations could have been retooled for Hope, but the fact is that Billy Wilder wanted to do a UN comedy, so it’s too bad that the studio didn’t just sign him and let him build a movie around Bob Hope.

Next was Take Sweden, which may be Hope’s least appreciated film. James L. Neibaur in his book The Bob Hope Films states “I’ll Take Sweden is Bob Hope’s worst movie” (page 149). I think that he, as well as many other reviewers missed the boat. Now I will be truthful, for many years I also considered this movie one of Hope’s lesser films, but I’ll admit, I was wrong. My impression was based on viewing a faded, edited print of I’ll Take Sweden on a UHF station in the 1970s in a 90 minute time slot (and the movie runs 96 minutes without commercials).

To appreciate I’ll Take Sweden, requires viewers to watch this is not as a Bob Hope starring vehicle. The plot centers around Tuesday Weld, who plays Bob’s daughter JoJo Holcomb with Hope playing a supporting (albeit a very large supporting) role, as her father, Bob Holcomb. Bob arrives home from a business trip to find his teenage daughter throwing a “wild party” at their house.

More great artwork - Poster form “8 on the Lam.”

Now, this was a late 50’s/early 60’s version of a “wild party”-loud music and dancing, etc. She proceeds to introduce him to her boyfriend Kenny played by Frankie Avalon and announces that they are going to get married. The next day, JoJo takes her Dad to see where Kenny lives-an old trailer on a hard to get to piece of property. This leads to a maybe the best scene in the movie, when Bob has a flash forward seeing them married and living in the trailer (with him as an old man ). He is desperate to stop her, and sees his chance when his company has an opening in Sweden.

Once in Sweden, Bob tries to pair his daughter up with young Eric Carlson (played by Jeremy Slate, as a clean cut looking young professional. When they start dating and Eric starts taking her out showing her culture, Bob is thrilled.

However, unlike Kenny Eric is not interested in marriage, but in bedding young JoJo. When Bob realizes what’s going on he panics and sends for Kenny to try and break up the new couple of Eric and JoJo. What really makes this work is the fact that the producers avoided the temptation to make Bob the star and cast the likeable and talented Tuesday

Weld as his daughter and build the movie around her character. In addition, the casting of the talented Frankie Avalon was not only good for the box office but gave the part to someone who was not overwhelmed by the talent of Tuesday Weld. This left Hope basically in a character/supporting role, but with the weight of the film’s success resting on Tuesday Weld and Frankie Avalon, this left Bob free to handle the comedy.

Boy, Did I Get a Wrong Number! is an interesting updating of Bob’s 1940’s/1950’s screen characterwithBobisplayingRealEstateAgent TomMeade.Inthismovie,Hopeisnotanover agedsingleorwidowedorhavingtroublewith his wife. When we are introduced to him, Bob is a happily married man (with two children).

He comes home early for dinner and calls his wife at the beauty parlor at a local hotel. The operator is talking and drinking Coke (in an early example of product placement?), when she spills the soda and pulls out all the lines and tries to reconnect them and inadvertently connects Bob to runaway movie star Divine Didi (played by Elke Sommer). She has run off from the set of her latest movie and is in hiding. Didi begs Bob to bring her somefood..Herefusesbutduringtheevening, the temptation gets the better of him and he

sneaks off to her room with some leftovers.

Didi is played as a typical spoiled star-a caricature, but very, very well done. Bob comes off as a loving husband and the relationship with his wife (as played by Marjorie Lord) is one of the best and most three-dimensional husband/wife relationships that he ever had on the screen.. While in Didi’s room, Bob is obliviously tempted, but he loves his wife.

Bob hatches a plot to get Didi some privacy and at the same time to get a lake cottage investment that is bombing some publicity and make it a success. They end up having a fight with Bob slipping out. Didi decides to go to the cabin anyway. During breakfast the next morning, the Bob is visited by the police who have found his office telephone numberinDidi’shotelroomwritteninlipstick.

After the police leave, the Meades decide to spend a romantic weekend at the cabin, but as his wife is packing, Bob gets a call from Didi telling him that she’s staying at the cabin. He rushes up there to attempt and get her out of there, but when he arrives, he finds her in the tub dead to the world on sleeping pills. There is a hilarious sequence when his wife arrives and he tries to conceal the sleeping Didi. This type of routine is just about as old as movies, but the execution here is flawless.

After his wife finally catches Bob and Didi.together, she storms off. Bob tries to convince Didi that he loves his wife. When she storms off, her car goes off the road and into the lake. When Bob gets home, he thinks he’s in trouble, but doesn’t realize he’s about to be accused of murder. In most films with a similar plot, the majority of the film is spent with a wrongly accused hero trying to prove his innocence, but one of the joys of Boy, Did I Get a Wrong Number! is that it avoids this trap.

Thepaceisrelaxedandweareslowlytreatedto all the situations that will in the last 20 minutes of the film be misinterpreted to implicate Bob as an adulterer and a murderer. During the interrogation, Bob is so poked and prodded that he actually ends up confessing to Didi’s murder eventually escaping in a police car with the still much alive Didi in the back seat.

This film presents the a great portrayal by Hope updating his classic 1940/1950’s screen character into a domestic situation, while a husband and father. Yes, Bob Hope was the master of the one liner, but Boy, Did I Get a Wrong Number! recognizes his skill with physical comedy and gives him a couple of opportunities to exhibit it.

Boy, Did I Get a Wrong Number! was not Bob’s only film in 1966. Hope would have liked a greater opportunity to show his range and pursue more dramatic parts, but despite a couple attempts in the 1950’s, he was never nominated for an Academy Award for any of his performances, although he received four Honorary Awards (1941, 1945, 1953, and 1966) and the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award (in 1960). Over the years, he got a lot of mileage out of never being nominating and established a record by hosting the Academy Award ceremony 18 times. 1966 gave him the chance to immortalize this role as Host of the Oscar in the rather overblown and forgettable

movie, The Oscar.

To be honest, 8 on the Lam (or 8 on the Run as it was known in the UK) is a film that not only should not have worked, but should have been one of the biggest misfires of Bob Hope’ career (NOTE: Some sources list the title as Eight on the Lam, but since material released with the film uses the number, I am using the number in this article). Hope was in his mid-sixties, when this movie was made (in the mid-1960’s), and his role as a widower with seven children ranging in age from very young to older teenagers.

However, the way things look on paper is often not the way they turn out, and 8 on the Lam is one of Bob Hope’s best and most overlooked films of the 1960s. In his younger years, Bob made many “caper movies”, where he was either framed and being hunted by authorities of being hunted by criminals or spies for either something that he had or that they thought he had. Starting in the late 1940s (with Sorrowful Jones) he would tackle roles that if he was not a father, he would be a father figure.

If 8 on the Lam had taken either of those approaches it would have probably failed, but director George Marshall deftly switches back and forth between the two. This hybrid is part vintage Hope (his character, Harry Dimsdale, finds $10,000.00, and is framed by his embezzling boss for money missing from the bank, where he works), and part 1960’s Hope (a widower with seven kids).

Some of the strengths are Bob’s appearance. Hope was in excellent shape well into his nineties, and here he could easily pass for a man fifteen maybe even twenty years younger in this film, which made him believable as the father of the brood in the film.

Next, there is his performance. I can truthfully say, I never saw Bob Hope give a bad performance. Sometimes the vehicle wasn’t worthy of his talent, and in his last few television specials his health and stamina were declining, but the man never coasted. He always gave 110%, but there are those special performances (like the Road pictures) where the viewer gets the impression that besides giving it his all, Hope was having a blast. 8 on the Lam is one of those films. Whether it was working an old friends (director George Marshall) or colleagues and co-stars (Phyllis Diller and Jonathan Winters) or the fact that two of his grandchildren (Avis Hope as Dana Dimsdale and Robert Hope as Mike Dimsdale) were in the cast, Hope gives one of those special performances here.

Now judging from his work in movies and television, it is safe to say one of Hope’s favorite things to do was to don a costume and comic persona, and here Bob gets the chance. He dresses up as a caricature of a Texas oilman to try and use the mistress of the real thief to get evidence that will clear him. 8 on the Lam is similar to one of those family television comedies (My Three Sons or The Brady Bunch for example), but done

much more elaborately for the big screen.

It also serves to show home Hope may have done had he decided to star in a weekly television series.

8 on the Lam is one Bob Hope film screaming for a DVD release. With Phyllis Diller, Jonathan Winters, Avis Hope, and Robert Hope still alive, it could have a great commentary track getting stories from the making of/about 8 on the Lam concerning both the personal and professional aspects of the making of this film.

The Two Final Films In the 1940s and 1950s, Hope had done his share of military comedies. To do a contemporary military comedy in the late 1960s would have met addressing Vietnam, which was hardly a topic for comedy. So Bob did his only period movie of the sixties, by making a service comedy set during the Second World War. A decade or two earlier Hope would have played a younger enlisted man.

The Private Navy of Sgt. O’Farrell wise avoids the age problem by cast Bob as Sgt. Dan O’Farrell.

Before I go any further, I would like to offer a small word of thanks here to Mr. Jack Grinnage. He has a long career going back to the fifties including a role in the classic Rebel Without A Cause, King Creole, guest roles on numerous classic television shows, but he is perhaps best known for his role as Ron Updyke in the class series Kolchak: The Night Stalker. I have been a big Bob Hope fan going back to the early/mid 1970’s, but Mr. Grinnage represents the first time I was given the opportunity to interview one of Bob’s co-stars. His assistance and help met a great deal more and went a great deal further than the direct quotes included in the below discussion of The Private Navy of Sgt. O’Farrell indicate.

Frank Tashlin had worked on some of Bob Hope’s best films-Monsieur Beaucaire, My Favorite Brunette, and Son of Paleface, and he returned to direct The Private Navy of Sgt. O’Farrell, which has to be the best looking color film Bob Hope had done since Road to Bali and The Son of Palefacer. It opens with the allies successfully invading and capturing the South Sea Island of Funapee. Next

Perhaps the best artwork of any Bob Hope poster from “The Private Navy of Sgt. O’Farrell.”

we see a convoy of supply ships being attacked with the only casualty being the ship carrying the beer, which is shown being sunk. There is a brilliant use of stock footage interspersed with scenes shot for the movie. We then see Army Sgt. Dan O’Farrell coming to requisition the supplies for his men-beer and aspirin, and being told that the beer ship sunk 150 miles away. The next scene illustrates how this finely crafted film matured Hope’s con man character a bit.

A younger Hope would have no doubt been one of the enlisted men, but the next scene gives us Hope as Sgt. O’Farrell being driven back to camp by one of his men, when the solider loses it and starts shooting. Instead of cracking a joke or hiding Bob asks “Hey what the hell, do you think you’ll doing?” He plays the scene straight and not for laughs, and it works.

And the audience sees that the solider actually hits Calvin Coolidge Ishimura, Japanese solider who was an American from San Diego visiting Tokyo, when the war started.

Talking to his Commanding Officer and trying to boost morale without beer Sgt. O’Farrell comes up with the idea of requesting nurses. During a mail call, one of O’Farrell’s men gets a “Dear John” letter. O’Farrell sees the young soldier starting to cry and follows him giving him a pep talk, and we see him cheer the young guy up. Again Hope, nails this scene playing it totally straight.

Through flashbacks we learn that Bob’s character was stationed on Hawaii prior to Pearl Harbor and had a relationship Maria (played by Gina Lollobrigida).

This is a great scene with Bob running don the beach really hamming it up. Turns out Maria was a sociologist researching men. Through a series of flashbacks, we see that they dated and a scene where it looks like they might be getting married with Bob leaving the Army, but as they are talking Pearl Harbor is attacked, and O’Farrell knows where his duty lies. Again, Hope plays the scene totally straight.

The scene where the nurses arrive is a classic. We see the soldiers cleaning, straightening, and even rehearsing to get ready. The men greet the plane with Bob managing to get in a music number, “Welcome Pretty Lady”, when off the plane steps Phyllis Diller followed by a crew of male nurses.

Later in one of the Navy’s offices with charts showing currents and tides, O’Farrell figures that some of the beer from the sunken ship will be carried to the uninhabited side of Funapee, and bright and bright and early the next morning, he heads to the spot and finds the beer behind a reef (to answer your question, it’s Pabst Blue Ribbon).

On a trip back to get some more beer, Bob/O’Farrell discovers Calvin Coolidge Ishimura, and determines to use a boat left by the Japanese to go to where the supply ship sank to get the rest of the beer. In order to draw off the attention of the Navy (Lt. Commander Roger Snavely played by John Myhers),

#728 • MOVIE COLLECTOR’S WORLD • 27

Bob has his men build a fake still, which Snavely blows up. O’Farrell and Calvin set sail to get the beer, and come across an abandoned boat carrying Maria and her niece, and have to abandoned their “mission” and head back to Funapee.

There is eventually a late night reunion on the beach between Bob and Maria, which leads to a takeoff of the Burt Lancaster/Deborah Kerr scene in “From Here to Eternity.”

The movie even includes a great Crosby gag, where one of his men reminds him about movie night and tells Hope it’s a double feature-“…two Bing Crosby movies…” And as Bob’s doing patrol on the beach, there’s a clip from “Pennies from Heaven”, and when laughter is heard Bob/O’Farrell cracks, “He must be singing again.”

Bob decides to set sail to get the beer and get back before the Navy can stop them, but Lt. Commander Snavely finds out what they are up to and Calvin and orders them back, as the boat is attacked by the Japanese plane. They manage to bring down the attacking planes, and the plane must hit the sunken supply ship, because the beer comes to the surface, and the crew loads up and celebrates, heading back toward Funapee, when they come across a Japanese submarine (a great gag with the subtitles with the submarine crew speaking in English and the subtitles in Japanese and then switching back). Bob decides to go after the submarine in an inflatable life raft, which he manages to board. The next scene is back on Funapee and a funeral for the presumed deceased Sgt. Dan O’Farrell and as taps plays, one of the greatest site gags from any Hope movie transpires. Bob is shown in a life raft rowing and towing the Japanese submarine to Funapee. The credits roll with Just Married couple Sgt. Dan O’Farrell and Maria driving off.

Hope had filmed other of his sixties films outside the United States, but most of them were filmed on soundstages. The Private Navy of Sgt. O’Farrell was filmed in Puerto Rico in 1967 with that Island standing in for Hawaii and Funapee, and refreshingly it appears most of the movie was shot outdoors, as opposed to on soundstages. According to Jack Grinnage, who played Private Roberts, the cast had a very positive experience-“…

We all had a very good time. Lots of fun...

I felt I was in a Road movie…” He was kind enough to share some of his home movies and personal photos, and it was fascinating to actually be behind the scenes of a Bob Hope film. Interestingly enough, he mentioned to me that the film was well scripted and on camera Bob stuck to the script, although during lulls in the filming he would be telling jokes and working to keep up the spirits of the cast and crew The Private Navy of Sgt. O’Farrell had its premiere at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre to an audience of U.S. servicemen, and the film got a terrific response.

Although it could be dubbed the “lost” film of Bob Hope’s career. Now the film

is not nor has it ever been missing, but it is a mystery is why this film is thought of so poorly. Watch it, just watch it. The Private Navy of Sgt. O’Farrell compares very favorably to some classic Bob Hope comedies from the forties and fifties. I asked Jack Grinnage for his final thoughts on the film, and he said “…It is just a funny, ridiculous good entertainment movie. A good family film. A good film for the period it was filmed in...”

How to Commit Marriage is not only another of the most underrated films of Bob Hope’s career, but also one of the most neglected films of the sixties.

There were numerous comedies in the sixties spoofing the generation gap and/or the sexual revolution, but there was none better than How to Commit Marriage. It’s not a great script, but it’s a very good one by Michael Kanin and Ben Starr and directed by Norman Panama, the movie features an all-star cast. In addition to Bob Hope, the cast included Jane Wyman, Leslie Nielson, and Tina Louise, Irwin Corey and the one and only Jackie Gleason.

The opening credits are among the cleverest of any Hope film. They start with Hope and his wife played by Jane

Wyman getting married. Slowly as the credits progress, the couple in bed goes from being entwined in each other’s arms to a bump between them (a puppy), to facing the other way to twin beds. As this goes on there are scenes coming in and out on each side and in the middle showing the couple growing apartfinding a golf ball in her shoe, using his shaving cream instead of hair spray.

As soon as the credits conclude, JaneWyman sits up in bed and announces that she wants a divorce. Hope seems a bit stunned but agrees. They have a meeting in their lawyer’s office, proceeding to draw up a separation agreement. As Bob is getting ready to move out, their daughter (played by JoAnna Cameron) Nancy comes home with her boyfriend (David Poe played by Tim Matheson) to announce that they are getting.

Bob and Jane agree to keep quiet until after Nancy and David return from their honeymoon. David’s father, Oliver Poe, is played by Jackie Gleason, and he’s 100% against marriage (of any type).

Hope brings the property settlement to the wedding and drops it. When Gleason finds it, he comes charging into the ceremony and stops the wedding. Well

David and Nancy decide to forgo marriage and embrace the Gleason’s character lifestyle. Bob and Jane’s divorce is granted and back to the split screen style of the opening credits, we see Hope and Wyman (and their new significant others getting on with their lives). All appears fine, until their daughter gets pregnant and announces they are going to give the child away.

Bob and Jane are horrified that their daughter is going to give her child and their grandchild away, so they hatch a scheme. They pretend to be a married couple using an alias and adopt their own grandchild just “until their kids” come to their senses. They buy a breach house, whose interior downstairs appears to be the set from “The Brady Bunch”, slightly redressed.

There is a great scene in about the middle of the film. It takes place on a golf course, where Hope is playing with his girlfriend, and Gleason drives up in a golf cart. He is playing with a chimp named Mildred and goads Hope into playing the chimp. This game between Hope and the chimp is hilarious. At one point, Mildred distracts Hope to move her ball and when Hope turns around the chimp is whistling “Thanks for the Memory.” If it didn’t work, it could be claimed to be irrelevant and misplaced and to hurt the plot. It might not be necessary to the plot, but the fact is that it is hilarious. This is a virtually forgotten scene is one of the funniest in any of Hope’s films.

Of course before the end of the film, the young couple is married, reunited with their child, Bob and Jane are remarried and it appears even Gleason and Tina Louise are married.

Perhaps the reason this film is ignored is because it is a perfect spoof of the 1960’s-the ease of divorce, young people living together, unmarried parents, Middle Eastern gurus, etc., and when it came out maybe it was too current to be appreciated as the commentary on the times that it was. The performances are excellent. Hope and Gleason bring out the best in each other, and Bob even gets a chance to dress in costume pretending to be the wacky guru the Baba Ziba.

Roles Not Taken Although this article was conceived as an examination of Bob’s film work of the 1960s, it was hard to avoid bits and pieces of hints about films he considered, that were not made. As always there were a couple of “Road” pictures.

According to Randall G. Mielke’s Road to Box Office: The Seven Film Comedies of Crosby, Hope and Lamour “…two additional Road films were planned after The Road to Hong Kong. One was Road to the Moon, which was reportedly, to costar Marilyn Monroe, and the other was titled Road to Bombay…” Articles on the “Road” films tend to mention the never made “The Road to the Fountain of Youth” and use that title and “The Road to Tomorrow” interchangeably, but from my research

28 • MOVIE COLLECTOR’S WORLD • #728

I feel this is a mistake. The Road to the Fountain of Youth was conceived and was to be written/directed by Melville Shavelson, while “The Road to Tomorrow” was conceived and was to be written by Ben Starr. Since Mr. Starr was a co-writer of How to Commit Marriage, I believe that “The Road to Tomorrow” may have been conceived in the late sixties. Other writers have over the years hinted at a Vietnam comedy and a film (The Man in the Back Seat) that was to have featured Bob as a Secret Service Agent. It’s hard to know how far any of these ideas got. ( NOTE: If you are aware of any other films that were considered by Bob Hope in the 1960s, please contact this writer by email at jmcgrena@juno.com, especially if you have a treatment or proposed script that you would be willing to sell (or sell a copy of).

Conclusion Critics are quick to deny Bob Hope any accomplishments during the sixties, but primary sources of the era reveal a different story. For his fine performance in The Facts of Life, Bob Hope was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Actor in a Musical/ Comedy, and came in third in the Top Male Comedy Performance category in the Laurel Awards, but those were not his last awards for his film work. The following year Hope was nominated for Best Motion Picture Actor in a Musical/Comedy and won a Laurel Award in the Top Male Comedy Performance category for his performance in Bachelor in Paradise. A few years later, Hope was ranked third in the Laurel Award’s Male Comedy Performance category for his work in Boy, Did I Get a Wrong Number! The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences twice recognized Bob Hope during the sixties. In 1960 they awarded him the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, and in 1966 they awarded him the Honorary Award (Gold Medal) “… for unique and distinguished service to our industry and the Academy…”

Another misconception is the box office performance of Hope’s films during the sixties. The usual line is to claim the films to have been flops or to have lost money, but this is just not true. Several sources list The Road to Hong Kong as having been one of the top grossing films worldwide of 1962. Data on other films is not readily available, BUT it is not possible to find with a bit of research. Boy, Did I Get a Wrong Number! earned $5,100,000.00 in worldwide rentals, which actually was the highest amount in worldwiderentalsforanyBobHopefilmsince the 1940s, and 8 on the Lam did almost as well amassing an amount $4,1000,000.00 in worldwide rentals. The Private Navy of Sgt. O’Farrell was not as successfully, but still earned a respectful $2,400,000.00 in worldwide rentals.

From a collector’s perspective, the material from the 1960’s is the best place to start a Bob Hope collection. First of all, because of the generally held opinion that these films are much lesser qual-

ity in Bob Hope’s career, the prices for everything from one sheets to lobby cards to stills is much more affordable than earlier material. And there are titles with co-stars such as Lucille Ball, Jackie Gleason, and even the last of the “Road” films. Actually, some of the lesser known films have some of the best graphics every to appear on one sheets for Hope films. Check out the images on A Global Affair, 8 on the Lam, and The Private Navy of Sgt. O’Farrell.

Another facet that is often ignored in any discussion of Hope’s film work of the 1960s are the songs that he performed. His earlier films are known for some of the songs he introduced“Thanks for the Memory” being the most famous. Discussion about songs from Bob Hope’s films in 1960’s often mentions only “Teamwork” from The Road to Hong Kong. Now it is true that is one of the best of the Crosby/Hope duets, but Bob had other films that either included memorable musical numbers or had included memorable musical numbers to promote the films.

As a matter of fact, viewers of The Road to Hong Kong often entirely overlook the other Crosby/Hope duet from the film, “On the Road to Hong Kong”. Although not as good as “Teamwork”, it’s not a bad number. Part of the problem may be that it seems numbers Hope sang on the screen were in films that seem not to have had soundtracks issued, and numbers that were recorded and released on record seem to have been cut from the films. There was a light, fast moving “Call Me Bwana” tune associated with the movie of the same name.

Something that unfortunately did not make it into I’ll Take Sweden was Bob Hope singing the song, Nothing Can Compare With You. Now the song was played over the opening and closing credits, but the opening uses an instrumental version, while the closing credits use a version sung by a chorus. Hope recorded the song, and it appeared on the soundtrack. For some reason, he did not sing it in the film, and his version was not used in the credits. This is a shame, and it has been virtually forgotten, but it’s a good tune and Mr. Hope was in great voice. In writing the linear notes for the “Best of Bob Hope” CD, James Ritz called the track “…the most pop sounding record he (Bob Hope) ever recorded…”, and he compared it to the Rick Nelson 1961 hit “A Wonder Like You.” In The Private Navy of Sgt. O’Farrell, there is a scene where Hope’s character (and his men) are expecting a plane load of very attractive nurses to arrive. The men greet the plane with Bob managing to get in a music number, “Welcome Pretty Lady.” It is fitting that Hope’s last big screen musical number comes in his last film of the 1960s. After Hope and Jane Wyman have adopted their grandchild. They are in the house after a tiring day each in a separate chair. As they sit there looking at each other, their imagine themselves getting up and dancing. As their ghost images dance, Hope

and Wyman duet on “Dream”. Hope’s last movie song is a beautifully done scene. In many ways it is reminiscent of “Thanks for the Memory” done over 30 years earlier.

Many comedians reach a certain age and find they have “outlived” their character. Very few are successfully in maturing their characters. In addition to his film career, Bob Hope had a very successful career in personal appearances, radio, and television, but he had a passion and a love for motion pictures.

Phyllis Diller, a frequent co-star of Hope in television and in three of his films from the 1960s has been quote as showing up on a movie set expecting a TV Bob Hope (i.e. reading off of cue cards) but she found that he had memorized his dialogue and was working at a higher level (for films), as opposed to television. Unfortunately and unfairly, Bob Hope’s screen career after The Facts of Life is usually dismissed with one or two

sentences at the most in any discussion of his film work, but as I hope I have shown it is perhaps time for a reevaluation. Starting with The Facts of Life, the decade of the 1960s gave Bob Hope an opportunity to make several films that deserve to be appreciated as valuable additions to his film legacy including many that allowed him to develop an older/middle-age comic identity.

A strong case can be made that Bob Hope ended the 1960s in a much stronger position (in regards to his film career) than he had ended the previous decade.

The only thing really lacking was a dramatic role (such as those he had played in The Seven Little Foys and Beau James).

Now the fact that his remaining film work would consist of mostly cameos and only one starring theatrical role are beyond the scope of this article, which was solely to examine Bob Hope’s film work in the sixties.

BATTLE FOR HADITHA ★★★★✩

by the staff of FilmCritic.com BAGHEAD ★★★★✩ The first feature film by Jay and Mark Duplass, The Puffy Chair, chronicled a fragile twentysomething relationship and, as such, fell into a subgenre of DIY movies about young-ish people struggling with adulthood (sort of like Noah Baumbach’s Kicking and Screaming but without a tripod). Baghead, their follow-up, treads similar ground, and flirts with a heavy level of self-reflexivity: This time, the twentysomethings are all actors and aspiring filmmakers. Then again, most mumblecore movies are full of vaguely artistic aspirations; Baghead may only stand apart in so far as it contains no wannabe musicians.

The nonacting actors played by actual semi-nonacting actors are Chad (Steve Zissis), Matt (Ross Partridge), Michelle (Greta Gerwig), and Catherine (Elise Miller); neither Duplass brother appears onscreen this time, although Zissis looks a bit like Mark, who starred in Chair. In the film’s prologue, the foursome decides to hole up in a cabin for a weekend and hash out a screenplay for a movie -- starring them, naturally.

The source of this inspiration is not entirely unified; Matt seems galvanized (or at least stirred) by the indie success of a casual acquaintance, while Chad believes that being cast as Michelle’s onscreen boyfriend could be the quickest, most painless method of becoming her actual boyfriend. Michelle is not unlike Gerwig’s title character in Hannah Takes the Stairs: Twitchy, with a childlike mix of passiveness and giggles, but gregarious enough to sexually captivate dudes of a certain age.

All four actors give us a lot of information with their darting eyes and

wandering conversation. We see that Michelle may have eyes for someone else, and that the perpetually unamused Catherine may be ready for a more normal life -- she looks, at least, like the most successful of the bunch inasmuch as she has an agent and some traditional good looks, but cracks of neediness are beginning to show, from her drunken comments to the roots of her hair.

Considering they’re staying at a cabin in the woods, it takes an undue amount of time for the gang to focus on maybe scripting a horror movie; only Matt can see beyond a fog of hormones, and needs to squint to do so. The premise they do eventually arrive at -- a guy with a bag on his head lurking in the shadows, like a cross between Blair Witch and The Strangers -- is a little vague, but easy to replicate on a budget. Maybe too easy.

From this point, I won’t reveal more except that Baghead itself toys with the horror genre, sometimes with disturbing effectiveness; it has a couple of jumps that do actually compete with the likes of The Strangers. But the movie’s most ingenious touch is the way it blends interpersonal tension and horror-movie tension without resorting to the usual estranged-couple or frisky-hotties dynamics. The characters simply move from one tense perch to another; the creepiest parts of Baghead allow Chad, Matt, Michelle, and Catherine to act on the discomfort that stays just below the surface in their quieter scenes.

Though they show a greater interest in other genres, the Duplass brothers aren’t more visually advanced than their mumblecore peers. They don’t have an eye for everyday beauty like Aaron Katz (Quiet City), and some of the fly-on-the-wall techniques -- onscreen focus adjustments, quick zooms, and other handheld standbys -- start to feel like exactly that: techniques to simulate and call attention to reality rather than observe it.

Their sense of story, though, however talky and handheld, is deceptively strong, and Baghead trips through comedy, drama, and horror with a casualness that belies its craft. As striking as many of these twentysomething experiments have been, the Duplasses seem most fully prepared to take what they’ve learned into their thirties, forties, and beyond (they’re also apparently the only mumblecore filmmakers disciplined enough to never indulge in long, pointless sequences set at a friend-of-afriend’s quasi-random party). This isn’t a smart-alecky movie about movies; the bits of laughter, scares, and drama come from an honest, uncomfortable place.

The actors earn their screams.

– Jesse Hassenger

The new Iraq war film Battle for Haditha digs its heels into the cracked earth good and deep as if it was a communiqué from an embedded reporter in the field. It was directed by the seasoned British documentarian Nick Broomfield and is, by a large margin, the most sustained and unshakable narrative film to investigate the occupation of Iraq and the instances that keep this unmitigated fiasco in a perpetual tailspin.

It was November 2005 when a convoy of American soldiers were attacked while patrolling a main strip of road in a suburban section of Haditha, a city in the western Iraq province of Al Anbar. The resulting death of Lance Corporal Miguel Terrazas is said to be the instigating factor in the massacre that directly followed the attack. The original reports stated that 15 noncombatant civilians were killed in the convoy blast with eight subsequent deaths of “insurgents” handed out by the surviving soldiers.

An investigation by Time magazine’s Tim McGuirk, which included a video of the houses where many of the victims were shot, prompted an eventual investigation by the U.S. military. These investigations led to the revelation that all 23 of the victims were massacred by the enraged Marines in a vengeful tirade following their comrade’s death. The end result: Eight of the Marines involved were charged while most of the higherups who OKed the shootings were given free passes. As of early 2008, only three of the Marines were actually being fully prosecuted for the crime.

Filmed in handheld by Mark Wolf, Broomfield reconstructs these events with stunning ferocity and a natural sense for military mindset. He has an ace up his sleeve: The mostly nonprofessional cast is made up primarily of soldiers who were or are currently involved in the occupation. The normal tropes are still present: the chugging riffs of dollar-bin heavy metal soundtracking

the calm before the storm, the heartless and overcooked American vengeance, the peculiar obsession with television and cellular phone technology, and the pomposity of both the military brass and the Islamic fundamentalists. But if these details were used to accent the action and causes of the conflict before, Haditha finds them as an essential and very real part of the current war’s pastiche.

A sort of anti-Redacted, Battle for Haditha takes large steps to understand not only our boys but the innocent civilians in the scattered stone houses and the frustrated men who are manipulated into action by the religious leaders in Iraq and Afghanistan. Though the focus remains on the marines, due attention is given to two young lovers and their family in a small town of Haditha and the two men who work with terrorists to deploy the convoy attack. The doomed romance between two young Iraqis, a young lady and the father of her unborn child, smacks of convention but it goes far to understand what’s going on under those chadors and burqas when Muslim women become combatants.

Past that, Broomfield even goes so far as to understand the men who set off the bomb not as anti-American mouthpieces but as genuinely remorseful and confused men who are scared for their family and easily manipulated by Islamic zealots. When returning home, the elder of the two “terrorists” holds his children tight after realizing that he has just begotten more violence that will undoubtedly come home to roost; he has effectively become a reason for the continuing massacre of American soldiers and Iraq civilians alike.

The depiction of the Iraq War in film has been inescapably compared to the cinematic representation of the Vietnam War but this war, and its cinema, is a whole other sort of animal. Nothing as cynical as De Palma’s Redacted nor anything quite as understanding as Broomfield’s film came out of Vietnam.

Ironically, Haditha’s closest cousin in Vietnam cinema is De Palma’s oftignored Casualties of War, about the raping and massacring of a young female Vietnamese villager by a group of army privates. But as that war proved and as Broomfield pointed out earlier this year, there are hundreds of instances like the one in Haditha that happen without proof or a camera to capture them. Battle for Haditha belongs above the disturbingly lite pantheon of Iraq war cinema for many reasons but one comes off as most chilling: It knows that this isn’t the first time, and it’s surely not the last.

EVENT HORIZON ★★✩✩✩

After Paul W.S. Anderson unleashed the blockbuster Mortal Kombat, he could do no wrong in the eyes of millions of geeks. He was the fanboy’s filmmaker,

32 • MOVIE COLLECTOR’S WORLD • #728

creating a video game movie that was as fun and trashy as the game itself.

All the nerds had high, high hopes that Anderson would settle into a career as fandom’s new hotshot. Boy were they disappointed. Somewhere along the line, poor Anderson went from the top of the heap to the bottom of the barrel.

(Poor bastard’s name is rubbed in the mud almost as often as Uwe Boll!) And most fanboys say that Event Horizon was Anderson’s fall from grace. A shame really, because the film’s better than most science fiction hokum. (And heads above his next pic, Soldier. Not to mention every… other… film…. after… that.

Geez, guy just can’t catch a break, huh?)

The plot concerns a scientific spaceship – the Event Horizon – that was sent into a black hole with a full crew.

The ship, naturally, vanishes and reappears years later, empty and sulking in a space fog. A small rescue crew is sent out to rendezvous with the Event Horizon, comprised of all your traditional stock characters (stoic Captain Miller (Laurence Fishburne), Dr. William Weir (Sam Neill), Med Tech Peters (Kathleen Quinlan), and the usual spacefaring grunts). Once onboard the desolate Event Horizon, all manner of bizarre things begin taking place, and it’s quite clear from the outset that wherever the Event Horizon was, it didn’t come back alone. We’re not talking Alien territory here, nothing that tangible, but the residue of some otherworldly hell that has infested the hulk of the ship and imbued it was a hideous life of its own.

Or perhaps, it really did go to the hell.

It’s a bit unclear.

And that’s the whole problem with Event Horizon; it can’t decide just what it wants to be. Is this a ghost ship? Is the ship actually alive? Is it in another dimension all together? Not that any of this should matter; science fiction films have long depended less on logic and more on technical wizardry and pseudoscience mumbo-jumbo. It’s usually just the idea of being “out there” in a sweet spaceship exploring the depths of the universe; all the rest is filler. But scripter Phillip Eisner tries to steer everything away from the gee-whiz and wraps it in pseudo-religious mumbo-jumbo and

pseudo-philosophical crap. The thing stinks of sophomore year bong hits and reeks of psych 101 cliché.

The movie looks great; the design work by Joseph Bennett (who cut his teeth on Richard Stanley’s maligned Hardware and Dust Devil) combines the ominous atmosphere of a looming cathedral with dark art deco. Cool stuff.

And cinematographer Adrian Biddle is no slouch; his work here is as good as anything he did for James Cameron (Aliens) or Ridley Scott (Thelma and Louise). The acting is par for the course, with Neill chewing up the scenery in hysterical fashion towards the end and Fishburne as cold as ever.

Event Horizon is not a good movie by any stretch, but as a science fiction film with a well-crafted atmosphere and a true dark streak (in its uncut version the gore scenes seem to go on forever) it certainly warrants a cursory viewing.

Call it Solaris for suburbanites. Or, perhaps more accurately, a retarded Goth version of 2001.

Superfans are in luck: The new DVD features commentary from Anderson and producer Jeremy Bolt, plus a second disc piled up with extras, from concept art to a half-dozen production documentaries tracking the creation of the film.

E.T. - THE EXTRA TERRESTRIAL ★★★★★

Break out the Reese’s Pieces and the Speak ‘n’ Spell – E.T. is back, and he’s hungry for your blood!!!

Okay, while this 20th anniversary reissue makes a few changes, it’s not quite that radical… but if you haven’t seen this film since you were 10 years old (like me), it is well worth another visit to the movie. Never mind the updates and alterations -- it’s amazing how much I’d forgotten from the original -- which means the update is just as fresh and exciting as it was in 1982. But Steven Spielberg has been tinkering -- and not really in an obvious way like Lucas did with Star Wars. Most notable among the changes (which add about 5 minutes to the running time) are a repaired and

expanded opening sequence, wherein we meet E.T. and his alien family, which is forced to leave him behind when those pesky feds get too close.

E.T. ends up being found in America’s foggiest subdivision by Elliott (Henry Thomas), who immediately finds a connection with him – two loners both lost in their own way. Elliott eventually introduces E.T. to his siblings, played by Robert NacNaughton and an unforgettable Drew Barrymore, who absolutely steals the show as the terminally cute Gertie (poor kid!). Meanwhile, a strange, symbiotic bond forms between the boy and the alien. Soon they feel each other’s emotions and experience each other’s sicknesses – most memorably when E.T. consumes a six-pack of Coors, getting them both drunk.

The feds close in on the alien just as he begins to get inexplicably ill (and not from the beer) – prompting Elliott to help him “phone home,” building a kind of space antenna out of an umbrella, a circular saw blade, a fork, and, of course, a Speak ‘n’ Spell. Director Steven Spielberg hasn’t fixed the nonsensical science of E.T. with this reissue, but that’s befitting both the Spielberg “writ large” style and the fact that this is really a fable for children, not a pondering on high-tech.

In fact, it’s one of the best children’s stories ever put to film.

The other changes are more difficult to spot. Spielberg has fixed a number of continuity and special effects mistakes, of course. A scene with Elliott comparing his height to the alien – only for his neck to stretch for the first time – is a memorable addition, and purists will bemoan the replacement of the feds’ guns with walkie-talkies (yeah, it looks weird when you hold a walkie-talkie like a gun), though it hardly ruins the movie.

What’s intact is the film’s powerful yet unmushy message of friendship, unconditional love, helping those in need… geez, what doesn’t this film have that an impressionable kid couldn’t stand to hear? E.T., as we conclude in the end, is a lost child, just like Elliott. The bond between these two stands as one of cinema’s most stirring relationships ever -- especially amazing considering one of them has a vocabulary of about 10 words.

I figured today’s jaded kids, which packed our screening, wouldn’t care for E.T., seeing the movie as manipulative and cheesy. But how wrong I was: On the way out, a pipsqueak chorus of “E.T. phone home!” was all I could hear.

Lots of extras on the long-awaited DVD release, which packs in plenty of archival documentary footage and a reunion interview with the cast and crew (dig Robert MacNaughton’s hairdo!). A real must-have.

– Christopher Null

WEDDING CRASHERS ★★✩✩✩ Good comedies get by on amusing

concepts, while great comedies sustain the laughter long after they’ve delivered their one-line pitch. Wedding Crashers belongs in the former category. It rides its amusing premise like gangbusters for one solid act, but overextends itself the minute it leaves the comfy confines of its smart setup.

Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn, playing themselves, are John and Jeremy – lifelong friends who spend the wedding season crashing strangers’ receptions for the free booze and vulnerable women. They have an angle for every party and work the room like politicians at a fund-raising breakfast. Watching them attack someone else’s special day with reckless abandon provides the most fun I’ve ever had at a wedding, my own not included.

But when the crashing stops, so too does the film’s momentum. Steve Faber and Bob Fisher’s screenplay settles into a disappointingly predictable groove when John falls for beautiful bridesmaid Claire Cleary (Rachel McAdams) at a high-profile ceremony. He’s smitten, so he convinces Jeremy to follow Claire’s family back to their Maryland estate where he hopes to win her heart with one whopping lie after another.

What once was fresh quickly fizzles.

Are you surprised to hear that Claire has a boyfriend (Bradley Cooper) who acts like a self-centered jerk when she’s not around? Her family’s no better, a laundry list of stock clichés ranging from her homosexual brother to her blatantly racist grandmother and oversexed mother (Jane Seymour, who should be above roles like this). Isla Fisher finds a few laughs as Claire’s psychotic sister, Gloria, who effectively turns the tables on womanizer Jeremy. And McAdams’ mega-watt smile shines brighter than ever, but she can’t completely distract us from overused setups involving stomach-churning medications slipped into people’s drinks. How original.

Vaughn valiantly shoulders the load in an effort to keep us interested during the downward swings. His gift for dishing insincerity in rapid doses has been refined to near perfection. This movie is infinitely funnier when Vaughn and Wilson are allowed to occupy their comfort zone and wander away from the script.

Director David Dobkin doesn’t know when to cue up Donna Summers’ “Last Dance” and call it an evening. After the truth is inevitably revealed about John and Jeremy, we still wade through an engagement, another wedding, two hypocritical apologies, and a Will Ferrell cameo that drags the proceedings to a surprisingly innovative low point. I won’t give the joke away, but I can report that it falls flat on its face.

The “uncorked” DVD adds eight minutes of unrated -- and slightly raunchier -- footage, plus additional deleted scenes, two commentary tracks, and some behind-the-scenes featurettes.

(and we had our first three million dollar year ever)!

Even in the face of a very troubled world economy, and even after leaving eBay early in the year, eMoviePoster.com STILL had their best year ever, with over $3 million in auction sales! Why do we sell more movie posters than anyone else? Because we are the only major auction that has NO reserves or buyers premiums, and we honestly grade every single item we sell, and we provide unenhanced supersized images of every item we sell, and we only charge the actual cost of shipping (or less) on every order, and we use super-strong custom-made packaging on every order, and we are the only auction house that lets all U.S. buyers combine winnings from four auctions into a single package (whenever possible), and we are the only auction house that lets all non-U.S. buyers combine winnings from up to eight auctions into a single package (whenever possible)!

For 19 years, eMoviePoster.com has sold more vintage movie posters than anyone in the world.

Whether through major live auctions, sales catalogs, the eBay auction site, or now auctions on our own site, we continue to sell many tens of thousands of posters each year, for millions of dollars each year!

Whether you are interested in buying or selling vintage movie posters, doesn’t it make sense to deal with a company with a decades long proven track record of both satisfied buyers and satisfied consignors? Not only can we sell every single movie paper item in your collection, but we won’t make any effort to buy your collection, to ensure that we are completely “on the same side” (the more money your collection sells for the more money you receive and therefore, the more we receive, so we have every incentive to get you the absolute most money for your collection).

And when you are buying, isn’t it great to know that you are buying from a company that puts the happiness of their buyers first, whether it comes to accurate descriptions of the condition of every item, unenhanced supersized photos, fair shipping costs, or no outrageous buyers premiums or reserves?

Remember that we solely sell vintage movie paper memorabilia! We sell no baseball cards, or comic books, or any other “collectible”. We were selling vintage movie paper for many years before those “other guys” jumped on the bandwagon (and we will likely be selling for many years after they move on to greener pastures).

Here’s to a great 2009 for all of our 30,460 past customers (ALL of whom have purchased vintage movie paper from us). We are going to offer lots of new services (and a third day of auctions!) in 2009! eMoviePoster.com
