I own all the Hope "Tribute Collection" series from Universal. All are high quality video (even the double series) with decent HTS audio and easy to watch. Hope and Lamour play their typical roles in "Caught in the Draft", so if you're a fan, you'll like it. "Give me a Sailor" features a bit too much Martha Raye for me, but all in all, a good addition to the Hope DVD collection.

Two of Bob Hope's earliest movies are presented here as a double feature. They Got Me Covered is the better known one & the featured attraction of the two. Both could probably be best described as screwball comedies especially Give Me a Sailor.
Give Me a Sailor was released in 1938 & was the second time that Bob Hope & Martha Raye were teamed together. Bob Hope & Jack Whiting are brothers vying for the hand of the same woman, Betty Grable. Grable & Raye are sisters who are both in love ... Read More

This DVD set demonstrates easily that Bob Hope was an appealing performer even when the material was not top notch.
"Give me a Sailor", released in 1938, is Hope's third feature film and he supports Martha Raye in a quite funny re-working of Cinderella.

She is very sympathetic here and two scenes standout - one is her tearful reaction to being dumped by Jack ... Read More

This is another very good double feature dvd in the Bob Hope Tribute Collection and offers two more of his earlier, lesser known films: CAUGHT IN THE DRAFT (1941) and GIVE ME A SAILOR (1938). CAUGHT IN THE DRAFT is a wacky wartime comedy which co-stars Dorothy Lamour, the actress most often associated with him in features while GIVE ME A SAILOR again co-stars the zany Martha Raye and is one film removed from his film debut THE BIG BROADCAST OF 1938, the musical-comedy that made people sit up and take notice ...

This selection from the very welcome Bob Hope Tribute Collection gives the viewers of today an enjoyable opportunity to see a humorous look at America as we were leaving the Depression and getting ready to defend our way of freedom. This is a very intelligent pairing that demonstrates through situations how necessary cultural changes can provoke laughter. If an occasional topical joke is not understandable to some of the younger audience there is always enough physical humor to keep the comedy going. The 1938 ... Read More
