Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Lots of fun, lots of value!
Thank you, Universal, for going into the Paramount vaults for two early Bob Hope vehicles, COLLEGE SWING and THE BIG BROADCAST OF 1938! This DVD release is part of the "Bob Hope Tribute Collection", and you get two features on one single-sided double-layer DVD. Both features are fullscreen, as is proper, with production notes and star bios as bonus features. Also included is the original trailer for COLLEGE SWING. Mastering is excellent, with very clean picture and mono sound.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Lamour's Big Help To Hope
When The Big Broadcast of 1938 was made Dorthy Lamour was actually a bigger star than Bob Hope...She recommended him for the part and insisted that he be the one to sing Thanks For The Memory..It was the beginning of a glorious life time friendship.....



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Pure Talent
These are by far two of the great classics. It takes you back to a time when comedy and dance were really something special this is a not to miss and getting two for the price of one is incredible. Don't miss the clean humor and Martha Raye as her big mouth character of course the laughs you'll get with Bob Hope are always great. Sit back relax and enjoy this is better than anything you'll see in theatres today!!



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Nostalgia
Both of these movies have very enjoyable moments. Neither is strong on plot. College Swing has some fun Burns and Allen. The Big Broadcast is a dogs dinner of a movie, with a preposterous W.C.Fields plot moving haphazardly along parallel to a shipboard entertainment/romance plot. Fields does not wear well. This movie is memorable for the introduction of Thanks for the Memories by an impossibly young and dashing Bob Hope and Shirley Ross, which is worth the price of the DVD. Tremendously charming.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good fun
These films, while packaged as Bob Hope vehicles, are typical all star programmers from Paramount in the late thirties, populated by numerous performers of which Hope is but one. These were his first 2 feature films although he had appeared in shorts for some years. Both are screwy and absurd in the Paramount fashion and accordingly good fun.

"College Swing" showcases Gracie Allan doing her thing but Martha Raye, as a French Professor of Love, steals the show, partcularly in a funny number ... Read More
