Review of My Favorite Brunette

Very funny send-up of film noir private eye movies. Bob Hope plays a baby photographer on death row for a murder he didn't commit. As he awaits his execution, he recounts how he got there by getting mixed up in a conspiracy involving a beautiful woman (Dorothy Lamour). One of Hope's best movies. Lots of funny lines. Features a terrific supporting cast, including Peter Lorre and Lon Chaney, Jr. There are some funny cameos from Alan Ladd and Bing Crosby. This one's in the public domain now so anybody can see it online for free. But that also means most copies are pretty lousy, quality-wise. It's worth the effort to try and find a decent copy.
