Movie Review

Movie Title: The Paleface. Comedy. Family movie. This is one of my favorite Bob Hope movies. I find it most humorous. The song Mr. Hope sings on the wagon train is a truly catchy, funny tune. The movie takes place in the Old West. Bob Hope plays a mild mannered dentist named Painless Peter Potter. He gets mixed up with a good looking gun slinger named Calamity Jane, played by Jane Russell (excellent casting choice). To gain a pardon for her wrong doing's Jane must work as a federal agent. She poses as a sweet young thing and gets Painless to marry her. Together they go on a wagon train westwards. My favorite part in the movie is when Painless sets out to meet a town bully for a show-down. He keeps getting the instructions he was given wrong. Kids should find this scene entertaining.
