Movie Review: Hope & Ball reunite in an all out comedy
Summary: 4 Stars
Fancy Pants reunites the stars of the hit Sorrowful Jones but this time in living color. This would be a full five years before Lucy would become a television icon.
Bob Hope plays a hapless actor, Arthur Tyler who is hired to play a butler to impress a neuvo riche American girl, Agatha Floud (Lucille Ball) and her mother Effie by an impoverish British Earl.
The Earl doesn't get the girl but Effie gets the butler. Effie wants to flaunt her new found culture in the culture wasteland known as Big Squaw, New Mexico. All arrive home and a misunderstanding happens when Agatha's father think that Humphrey, the Butler is the Earl of Brimstead.
Arthur takes to his new role with flare. Maybe a little too much flare. This makes Agatha's "beau" jealous. To add to the plot twists, President Teddy Roosevelt finds out about the Earl's visit and comes to meet him. This leads to an all out over the top finish.
Bob Hope had pretty well perfected his screen persona by this film but Lucy was still years from creating hers. This film was a bridge from what MGM tried to make her and what I Love Lucy would make her. Hope and Ball made a great comic team and this is one of the most outlandish collaboration.
This is just a plain sit down and laugh out loud comedy. Enjoy!

Movie Review: Fancy Pants
Summary: 4 Stars
The teaming of Hope & Ball proved to be a successful one. This is a funny movie but not quite as good as Paleface or Son of Paleface. Hope is an out of work actor who gets hired by a family out west. The family is "new" money & they're a pretty raw bunch. They want Hope, who they think is a British valet, to polish up their daughter (Ball) so that she would have the manners of a lady, more acceptable to the genteel. It's the typical Hope shenanigans as he goes through his paces. Ms. Ball doesn't want to be "citified" so she rebels at everything Hope tries to do. And, of course, they fall in love by the end but not before Hope's life is on the line.Movie Review: Thanks for the Memories

Bob Hope and Lucy Ball what a team; only those of us baby boomers can appreciate the humor and fun these two created. I enjoyed every fun loving minute this movie had to offer. my teenage kids on the other hand walk out after about the first half hour, "what do they know anyway". This movie is for those of us who remember that funny doesn't have to come with those nasty four letter words to get a laugh out of you. I recommend this product to adults and fun loving kids who can appreciate clean humor.Movie Review: Fancy Pants

Quite enjoyed this film - though it is starting to show its age - good to see two very popular comedy players on screen - the site gags and occasional mugging to the camera gives it a nce touchMovie Review: HEY, FANCY PANTS!!
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie was absolutely hilarious from beginning to end. I thought the storyline could have been stronger, but still laughed like crazy at Lucy's antics, as usual. :)
