Movie Reviews of Bob Hope - The Vietnam Years (1964-1972)
Movie Review: Something is missing but the shows are GREAT!
Summary: 4 Stars
These shows are great! Bob was a wonderful entertainer. I saw the show at Clark AFB. I hope that someone will gather the other shows from 1948 on and put those out.
I cannot understand why someone would rate these 1 star just because there is a problem with a disc. You should be reviewing the show, not a production problem. A product problem gets resolved by getting a replacement, this does not affect the content which is what people want to read about.
SOMETHING IS MISSING - I do note that even though the shows should be 90 minutes, they are actually closer to 70. The musical numbers from the guest stars have been removed among other things. I presume they could not get clearance for the performances. Too bad. It would have been nice to get the complete shows.
Summary of Bob Hope - The Vietnam Years (1964-1972)
Originally broadcast on NBC, the 9 complete hour-long shows included in this set feature Hope?s classic comedy stand-up and wonderfully entertaining sketches and musical performances with celebrity guests including Racquel Welch, Phyllis Diller, Neil Armstrong, Jim Nabors, Lola Falana and many more. While providing quality entertainment for the troops and to families across the nation, these specials also documented the history of one of the most turbulent times in America. Each show is narrated by Hope and includes information about his ambitious tours through Thailand, Taiwan and Guam as well as touching interviews with the soldiers he met along the way.Hope?s holiday salute to the troops became an instant favorite with television audiences. The 1965 special won an Emmy AwardŽ and the special from 1970 is still ranked among the 15 highest-rated television programs to date. Bob Hope will always be remembered for his dedication to the armed forces. Back in 1941 he began the custom of traveling the world to uplift the spirit of American troops stationed over seas. This custom became tradition the Christmas of ?48 when Bob, with wife Dolores, flew to Europe to entertain Americans involved with the Berlin airlift.
Always at the top of his game on the road, his devotion endured through the sixties and seventies, when American Troops were deployed to Vietnam. This 3-disc set captures Hope?s most memorable moments as he performed for the troops from 1964 - 1972.
