Product: My Favorite Brunette [VHS] (1947)
Rating: 5.0
Hope in his prime
Some of the gags would be timlier and better understoon if this was the late 1940s. All the same, this is one of Hope's best comedies and shows why he is an icon among comedians and comic actors. Amazingly, although he was already in his early forties when he made this classic comedy, he would continue to entertain for almost another 60 years.Baby boomers who only remember Hope as that "square guy" their parents watched on NBC in the 1960s and 1970s can get a true appreciation of Hope's talents in this film. For Gen'X'ers and Gen Y'ers, who may know little or nothing of Hope, this film is an excellent introduct.
