01/03/2020 Good Hope and Ball comedy. .happy ending. . that's a movie worth watching! See more 08/19/2009 It's a little too cute, but Bob Hope is always good, and Lucille Ball is a good match for him. Pleasant score, well produced. Entertaining but not very memorable.

See more 03/13/2009 One of the many Hope - Ball teamings is a bit of a sad outing but should be seen by any fan of either respective entertainer. Remake of Little Miss Marker and remade years later as Hopscotch (1980).

Precious Saunders a bit much. Demarest is a hoot as Regret as is Tom Pedi as Cabot's henchman. See more Read all reviews
