My Favorite Brunette (1947) DVD [Remastered Edition]   [2007]

starring: Bob Hope;Dorothy Lamour;Peter Lorre;Lon Chaney Jr.;John Hoyt
directed by: Elliott Nugent

Release Date July 01, 2007
This is a Bob Hope vehicle film that follows the standard formula of putting him in a series of situations that he is not prepared for and then letting hilarity ensue. In this case Hope dreams of being a detective and gets his chance only to be sucked in deeply out of his depth by - wait for it - a beautiful brunette. Of course he saves the day in the end but not before being put through every possible comedic situation. The sound quality was very high on the disk I bought.
