Movie Reviews of Bob Hope - Hope for the Holidays
Movie Review: A Traditional Holiday trip back in time - TRULY AWESOME!
Summary: 5 Stars
For those of you who are old enough to remember what watching TV at Christmas time was like back in the 50's, 60's, 70's and even 80's, this DVD will surely bring back a lot of incredible memories. I can clearly remember waiting patiently each year for Bob Hope's Annual Christmas Special on NBC. This DVD did not disappoint me in anyway. There is footage of various skits with Bob Hope and just about every famous celebrity of that era. Even the bonus material containing a number of bloopers was great to watch.
Back in those days, there were only three stations or three networks to watch (ABC, CBS and NBC), but it seemed that there was always something great on TV, no matter what night of the week it was. NBC was lucky enough to have Bob Hope for so many incredible years. I truly have to applaud Bob Hope for entertaining our troops each and every year at Christmas and this DVD has quite a few memorable clips from the 50's through the 80's of Bob in some foreign Country with a great looking gal, parading around on the stage. If you are a fan of Bob Hope, or you'd like to experience just one more of Bob Hope's Annual Christmas Specials, then do NOT pass up this unique opportunity. I assure you that you will NOT be disappointed. As far as the quality is concerned, it's not HD but it's still pretty darn good, even on a 55" screen.
I have already watched this DVD two nights in a row and I will probably play it again some night before Christmas this year. This is clearly one of my favorite DVD's of all time.
