My Favorite Spy is Not One of My Favorites **1/2
15 April 2006
Bob Hope in a dual role here. Naturally, as a comedian, he is confused with a spy and is made to serve his country to act like the former to obtain information.

We get the usual Hope shtick here. "I have no friends in Washington. I vote Republican."

You don't have to be a rocket scientist to realize that the real spy escapes and soon is on Hope's trail as well.

Hedy Lamarr tries to be funny but really can't. She is the thrown-over ex-girl friend of the spy Hope who soon realizes that the joker Hope can't really be her true flame.

The ending is funny. We see the two on the lam riding on a fire truck. Some funny lines here, almost as funny as Hope fleeing with Jane Russell and saying to an animal, "Thanks for the ride."

"Thanks for the memories Bob," you did a lot better than this.
