Chester Apparently, this family-friendly farce was Bob Hope's last theatrically-released movie. It is very much of it's time- not having as sophisticated a plot as best of the Jack Lemmon or the Doris Day/Rock Hudson movies but much funnier than the Beach Party series, the Don Knotts films or most of Jerry Lewis' stuff. The beautiful Elke Sommer plays a temperamental actress who has mood swings so rapid, it makes one head spin, and Phyllis Diller, I recall, had built a successful comic career in the late 1960s based upon being the "ugliest" celebrity. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/21/23 Full Review Steve D Typical Hope film. Fun enough. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Lame comedy with Hope tiresome after a while. Elke is stunning and both her hair and particularly Marjorie Lord's, which could almost be its own planet, awe inspiringly elaborate. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A moderately interesting film. Phyllis Diller steals the show with her wild hair and even wilder 'tude. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member This film made the ignoble list of films in the book "The Fifty Worst Films of All Time (and how they got that way)." I'm not convinced it's as bad as "Plan 9 from Outer Space" or "The Room," but it's certainly not a good film and a far cry from Bob Hope's best films, which are actually quite good. Bob made a series of terrible comedies in the 1960s and this one is probably the worst. Elke Sommer plays an actress who wants to be taken seriously and not for her bubble bath scenes, so the quotes and goes into hiding in Oregon (though not filmed in Oregon). She then connects up with realtor Bob Hope who suggests she hides out in his cabin, but wackiness ensures as he tries to keep her hiding out there a secret from Hollywood, his wife and his suspicious housekeeper, Phyllis Diller. Bob doesn't have very many funny one liners and the situations aren't all that funny either. Stick with some of his Road pictures or the "Lemon Drop Kid" instead. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review bill t Not bad, but certainly not great either. Bob Hope plays a real estate broker who wants to sell a lakeside property. Noone wants to buy. When a crossed line gets him talking to a international sex symbol, she gets her to live there for a few days so that he can profit from that. Problem is, he doesn't want his wife to know. Ruh roh! Predictable 60's humor here. The really bad spots go to Phyllis Diller, whose just hamming it up to no end.
