Product Description
3 MOVIES ON 1 DVD!!!! My Favorite Brunette - Funnyman Bob Hope teams up with Dorothy Lamour in this witty and entertaining send-up of the hardboiled detective genre. Ronnie Jackson (Hope), a baby photographer-turned-gumshoe, by chance encounters a mysterious femme fatale, played by Dorothy Lamour. In another case of mistaken identity, she engages Ronnie to solve a mystery. Before he knows it, Ronnie is caught up in a perilous case of intrigue. The game turns deadly when Peter Lorre and Lon Chaney intervene, playing classic villains to Hope's slapstick humor. See if you can spot Bing Crosby in a brief cameo role. The Inspector General - Fans of the great film comedian Danny Kaye will be sure to love The Inspector General. Danny sings and dances his way through predicaments of honor and amour in this 1949 hit comedy. Georgi (Kaye) and Yakov (Slezak) play a pair of mismatched snake-oil salesmen on the lam. Georgi is jailed for vagrancy and then mistaken for the Inspector General, who is making an unannounced visit to the village. The corrupt mayor (Alan Hale, the Skipper from Gilligan's Island) is a perfect foil for Kaye. The laughs really get rolling as Georgi tries to put things right, including the rescue of the village's pipe organ. Along the way, Georgi finds intrigue and romance, and of course, sets things straight, and gets the girl! My Dear Secretary - When best-selling author Owen Waterbury (Kirk Douglas), who has an eye for the ladies, engages a beautiful and brainy woman to be his secretary, he gets more than he bargained for. Stephanie Gaylord (Laraine Day) is the aspiring writer who won't be easily won over by Waterbury's attempts at romance, or those of his pal Ronnie (Keenan Wynn). An unusual role for Kirk Douglas, this "battle of the sexes' comedy has a light touch, and many fine performances. Keenan Wynn is especially well cast as the friend.
