DVD Reviews of The Paleface
DVD Review: Old-Fashioned Funny
Summary: 4 Stars
It may not be politically correct. It may seem quaint in some of its assumptions. Paleface is still downright funny.DVD Review: One Hope's funniest movies!
Summary: 4 Stars
One tends to forget that Bob Hope was a movie star. Even 40 plus years later his comedy holds up. This was one of my favorite movies growing up and I enjoyed watching it with my Mom who understood little English but always watched a Bob Hope movie with the kids. A nice addition to my DVD collection and classic Bob Hope.DVD Review: Paleface DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
The DVD arrived before I expected it to, in perfect condition. I have been looking for this movie for years, and I found it, for an extremely agreeable price.DVD Review: The Paleface, a fun film.
Summary: 5 Stars
I've always enjoyed watching Bob Hope, he was such a master of comedy. And this film is one of his best, a silly whimsical western farce. I love the songs, "Buttons and Bows" is such a classic, it was even spoofed on the television show "Frasier".DVD Review: Paleface: good score
Summary: 2 Stars
The Paleface
Mildly amusing comedy. Jane Russell is fine as Calamity Jane, whose show it is. Script is very weak, and Bob Hope is limited by it, not finding much room for ad-libs or one liners. Really, the only merit of the show is the lead song, Buttons and Bows, which was much covered (and much better done in covers) at the time. The Buttons and Bows music runs through the score as a theme.
Description of The Paleface
Calamity jane weds a learn-by-mail painless dentist as a cover for her government work. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 10/24/2006 Starring: Bob Hope Robert Armstrong Run time: 91 minutes Rating: Nr Director: Norman Z. McleodBob Hope brings his own brand of laughing gas to the Wild West as a would-be "painless" dentist lassoed into marrying Jane Russell. She's a shapely outlaw turned undercover agent on the trail of some varmints selling guns to a hostile Indian tribe, and he's her unwitting cover. Hope cowers and cracks self-effacing jokes while bodies fall around him ("Brave men run in my family," he quips, then runs), but he's even funnier swaggering and sneering like a kid playing cowboy in a flamboyant costume apparently stolen from the Oklahoma! road show. The Paleface is one of his best films, and the unflappable Russell is a great match. Theme song "Buttons and Bows" (which Hope delivers with a clowning mock twang) won an Oscar?, and the 1948 film spawned a sequel (Son of Paleface, costarring Roy Rogers and Trigger) and a remake (The Shakiest Gun in the West with Don Knotts). --Sean Axmaker
