(87 min; 1947; b/w; English)
Director: Elliott Nugent

With Bob Hope, Dorothy Lamour, Peter Lorre

My Favorite Brunette finds Bob Hope cast as a baby photographer who is mistaken for a private eye by a mysterious beauty as well as by the various crooks trying to keep her from blowing the lid off their nefarious scheme. Before long, the bumbling would-be snoop finds himself mixing it up with a menacing henchman (a wonderful Peter Lorre), trying to outsmart a dim-witted orderly (Lon Chaney Jr.), and facing execution after a wrongful murder charge. One of Bob’s best, My Favorite Brunette never slows down, offering plenty of choice one-liners, inspired set pieces, and a pair of ace cameo appearances.
