Spione, Liebe und die Feuerwehr (1951)

Spione, Liebe und die Feuerwehr: Directed by Norman Z. McLeod. With Bob Hope, Hedy Lamarr, Francis L. Sullivan, Arnold Moss. A burlesque comic, who resembles an international spy, is recruited by the government and sent to Tangier to retrieve a sensitive microfilm before it’s captured by hostile foreign agents.

“This is a typical Bob Hope movie in which u0026quot;ole ski noseu0026quot; delivers a lot of one- liners and plays his usual coward-turned-hero. (In this story, a burlesque comic turned spy.) The leading lady for this one was Hedy Lamarr. By 1951, the famous glamor girl of the Golden Age looked like she was a few years past her prime. She had very little sex appeal left. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHope plays a dual role: u0026quot;Peanuts Whiteu0026quot; and u0026quot;Eric Augustine.u0026quot; He does a fine job with both, although in one of those roles he said very little. In all, not one of his more memorable movies, or funnier films, but it has enough decent laughs to somewhat entertain….but mainly, if you are a die-hard Bob Hope fan; otherwise, skip it. Bob did a lot of other films that were much better.”
