Start Cheering (1938) starring Jimmy Durante, Walter Connolly, The Three Stooges

I recently saw this classic romantic comedy/musical, Start Cheering, on Turner Classic Movies, and I was pleasantly surprised — I didn’t even realize initially that the Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Curly Howard) were in the film, but I was happy to find out that they did.

Movie review of The Princess and the Pirate, one of Bob Hope’s funniest and most popular movies. The cowardly, inept Sylvester the Great (Bob Hope) gets embroiled in rescuing the beautiful Princess in disguise (Virginia Mayo). It’s hilariously funny!

Movie review of âThe Seven Little Foysâ, starring Bob Hope as Eddie Foy, the star of vaudeville who has been absent from his childrenâs lives ... until his wife dies, and heâs now forced to be a real âfatherâ in every sense of that word ... and how Eddie and his children develop mutual love for each other, and how he struggles to work them into his act. A wonderful film, very funny and very touching, often at the same time.

Editorial review of The Lemon Drop Kid | Bob Hope, courtesy of Amazon.com

Bob Hope plays a small-time con artist with a fondness for lemon candy in this film based on a Damon Runyon story. When the Lemon Drop Kid accidentally cheats gangster Moose Moran (Fred Clark) out of his track winnings, the Kid promises to repay Moose the money by Christmas. Creating a fake charity for “Apple Annie” – Nellie Thursday, the Kid tricks his gang into donning Santa suits and collecting dough for old dolls like Nellie who have nowhere to live. Radio personality Marilyn Maxwell assists as the Kid’s girlfriend, while William Frawley and Jay C. Flippen play the lovable, gruff crooks that fall for the Kid’s Santa scam.
