Well, fancy that! Screen legends Bob Hope (The Paleface) and Lucille Ball (Sorrowful Jones) join forces in a Technicolor remake of Ruggles of Red Gap and let loose a stampede of laughs. Wisecracking Bob is a teddibly, teddibly British valet brought to the Old West to teach Old World charms to a certain redheaded tomboy. Of course, Bob’s not really a valet. He’s an out-of-work actor who’s stumbled across the role of his life. It’s tea at 4:00 p.m. and don’t fan your soup with your hat, but will proper etiquette protect Bob from Lucy’s jilted beau? Directed by Hollywood great George Marshall (The Ghost Breakers, Murder, He Says), Fancy Pants is the rootin’-shootin’ musical farce that’s driving the West wild! Co-starring western great, Bruce Cabot (Big Jake).

Kino has been killing it with the their Bob Hope releases.

Another no brainer purchase for me.

Another title I can take off my "most wanted" list. THANKS Kino!

Me too!! I am wondering though when the months ago announced blu-rays of Bob Hope's "Sorrowful Jones" and "Never Say Die" will be released. I know they are from the Universal deal but can we get a ballpark release month on them? Asked KL insider a few weeks ago on the Kino thread and he never responded. Just curious....

No popcorn during my performance, peasants!

This is one of my favorite Hope films and very likely the first one I ever saw thanks to a copy my parents recorded on Betamax. I'll likely pre-order this title as opposed to waiting for a sale.
