Happy 100th Birthday, Mr. Bob Hope!
Bob Hope is back! This time with Dorothy Lamour. This is their ninth film they both have been in and they were in five others after this one. Bob Hope is the age of 43 or 44 in this film. Bob Hope plays a baby photographer who has always wanted to be a private eye...a detective. Next to his office is the McCloud Detective Agency. He begs for Sam McCloud (played by Alan Ladd in a cameo appearance) to give him a chance. But nuthin' doin'. While McCloud lets him answer the phone while he is out working on a case, who should walk in but Dorothy Lamour. The distraught woman needs help and thinks Bob is McCloud the Detective. Well, what is Bob to do, especially as lovely as Dorothy Lamour is, so here's Bob's chance to play detective. Here is where the fun begins. Bing Crosby has a cameo appearance too. Have a happy 100th Birthday, Mr. Bob Hope!
