Film icon Bob Hope stars in My Favorite Brunette, a viciously funny parody of hard boiled detective films like The Big Sleep. Hope plays an ordinary man mistaken for a detective by the breathtakingly beautiful Dorothy Lamour. Not wanting to pass up the lady’s favor, Hope takes the case without concern for his lack of professional training. The intentionally convoluted and twisty plot brings Hope in the presence of hilarious criminals Peter Lorre and Lon Chaney, Jr. Successfully skewering the film noir private eye films, My Favorite Brunette is one of the best films of Hope storied career, thanks in no small part to expert direction from Elliott Nugent (The Great Gatsby). This gem is not to be missed!
