Son of Paleface

Summary: One of Ol' Slope-Nose's best, and Jane Russell - WOW!
Review: "Son of Paleface" was my introduction to Jane Russell, who really burns up the screen in her role as the saloon girl/outlaw leader - and it's a great Bob Hope flick too. A worthy sequel to "The Paleface", it pairs Hope with Russell and the duo of Roy Rogers (a good straight man who ends up as the third point in the movie's love triangle) and Trigger. Lots of music - including a reprise of the Oscar-winner "Buttons and Bows" - and sight gags!

Summary: One of Bob Hope's best!
Review: Bob Hope is a very underrated comedian, esp. in the movies, but this is a laugh riot! Plus, it has Jane Russell at her most formidable (especially in director Frank Tashlin's opening pan on her imposing physique). Great all around!

Summary: Golden age western is a winner
Review: Delightful western spoof is one of Bob Hope's best films, and he has plenty of solid support from the busty Jane Russell and the King of the Cowboys, Roy Rogers and his golden palomino, Trigger, "the smartest horse in the movies". Junior Potter [Hope] comes west to inherit his dad's wealth and instead finds himself saddled with his numerous debts and an irate townsfolk is ready to take out their frustrations on Harvard man Potter. Rogers is in town to investigate a series of bank robberies led by "The Torch" and the trail leads to lovely Mike [Russell], a dance-hall singer by day and a black-clad raider by night. Hope fires off snappy one-liners throughout the film's 95 minutes and he has a humorous sequence with Trigger in a hotel room while trying to escape from agent Rogers. Several songs are presented in the movie, among them the popular tune, "Buttons and Bows".

Summary: It isn't that Funny
Review: First, let me say I'm a big Bob Hope fan. I have always enjoyed him and watched many of his Road movies and a few others that were on TV. I purchased this movie and my wife and I watched about half and turned it off. It was too much stick and playing to the camera. One scene where Hope is in a bar while Roy Rogers sings the Song Buttons and Bows, Hope adds his own lyrics to the song at the end and you think the scene will never end. I believe there are better Bob Hope movies than this one. Sorry to say I was disappointed. I'm sure the film is appealing to many others and do not wish to anger those fans. But my wife and I just didn't find this one any more enjoyable than most Jerry Lewis films.

Summary: Trigger steals the show!
Review: I bought this dvd for my father for Father's Day, and decided to watch it myself. I loved it as did my 4 year old daughter. The picture and sound quality are fine. Bob Hope is very funny, but I think Trigger the wonder horse steals the show! Trigger dances, fights with Bob over the covers, and just generally one ups Bob at every turn. If you want to see why Roy Rogers loved this horse, watch this movie. Great for the entire family.

Summary: Funny stuff
Review: I like this film quite a bit. I always liked Bob Hope as a kid and this film is pretty funny. I didn't buy this one for Bob though, I LOVE Jane Russell and had the hots for her as a kid. This film is a good fun family film that is pretty silly. If in a silly mood check this film out!

Summary: Silly fun
Review: I've never seen the original film but used to catch this one alot on tv when I was a kid. I am a HUGE Jane Russell fan and enjoy the silly humor presented here in this film but truly got it for Jane Russell. She looks good in the film and that is a very dim witted reason to REALLY enjoy this film but it's the truth. I think its a good silly romp for the whole family and for anyone who can laugh at Bob hope. It was alot funnier as a kid of course but it's good if in a silly mood.

Summary: one of the funniest movies ever!
Review: Junior (Bob Hope) is trying to find Paleface(dad)'s gold. He is engaged to a stagecoach robber. What can I say? ----Classic Comedy

Summary: A Sequel Funnier than The Original
Review: Maybe because I saw "The Paleface" after I saw "Son," I couldn't help but find it to be a much more satisfying and entertaining film. Bob Hope, in his inimitable style, is aptly sarcastic, witty, bumbling, crafty, and just plain funny as the son of the character from the original. Jane Russell seems to parody the sexy image of which she was so famous. Roy Rogers enjoys being the brunt of some of Hope's jibes about the cowboy's "squeaky-clean" persona. Technicolor has never made Trigger look better.

A great enjoyment for the entire family is this classic farce. Mel Brooks must have been influenced when he made "Blazing Saddles" decades later.
