Bob Hope is up to his classic shenanigans in Fancy Pants, a loose remake of the comedy favorite Ruggles of Red Gap. Hope plays Humphrey, an American actor playing a British butler in a hokey play in London. When a fortune-hunter hires the cast to help him woo a wealthy American girl (Lucille Ball, playing her character like a female John Wayne), the girl's domineering mother takes a shine to Humphrey and hires him to be their butler back in New Mexico. But when they arrive out West, the townsfolk believe that Humphrey is British nobility, and even Teddy Roosevelt drops by for a visit. Despite their different comic styles, Hope and Ball have an oddball chemistry together; throw in some musical numbers, physical slapstick, and a shaggy dachshund, and the results will please any Hope fan. (There are, however, some unfortunate racial stereotypes.) --Bret Fetzer

Rating:  - Fancy Pants, Classic Bob Hope Film
Bob Hope's movies are all sparkling with goodhearted & witty humor. This DVD of a classic costarring somebody named Lucille Ball is a ton of fun rating A+A+A+A+A.
Rating:  - badbones
another bob fancy farce that works with some belly laughs to boot. L Ball does an ok job but hope is funny.
Rating: - 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.
Rating: - "Hey, Fancy Pants!..."
Reunited for the first time since their box-office success in "Sorrowful Jones" (1949), 1950's FANCY PANTS (a musical remake of "Ruggles of Red Gap" by Harry Leon Wilson) cast Bob Hope as a phoney British butler, with Lucille Ball as his hell-raising, tomboyish employer.
Engaged in a British touring theatrical troupe, struggling actor Arthur Tyler (Bob Hope) literally lands the role of a lifetime when New Mexico millionairess Effie Floud (Lea Penman) drags him back home as the new butler, ... Read More
Rating: - Fancy Pants
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 ... Read More
