Audience Member Good Hope and Ball comedy. .happy ending. . that's a movie worth watching! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member 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). Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Bob Hope and Lucille Ball Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Hope's not "Sorrowful" but he helps make this the most entertaining version of Runyon's "Little Miss Marker." Precious Saunders a bit much. Demarest is a hoot as Regret as is Tom Pedi as Cabot's henchman. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
