Bob Hope is in top form in this Technicolor parody of pirate pictures, doing his best vaudeville shtick as an inept performer trying to save princess Virginia Mayo from the evil clutches of governor Walter Slezak and pirate Victor McLaglen. It's all ridiculous fun, of course, but if you're a fan of Hope, you never tire of his self-effacing gags and double-entendres. His out-of-place show biz jabs were always clever, and they're all the funnier in this period setting--particularly the Bing Crosby jokes. But Walter Brennan nearly steals the film as a wacky pirate scheming to steal buried treasure, and tattooing the map on Hope's chest. Yet the two best routines are when Hope tries to conceal his chest while taking a bath with Slezak, and when he tries to impersonate McLaglen as "the Hook." --Bill Desowitz

Set during the 17th century, Bob Hope is Sylvester "the Great", a none-too-successful entertainer, who must rescue Margaret (Virginia Mayo), a princess traveling incognito, when their ship is hijacked by notorious pirate The Hook (Victor McLaglen) and his men. Sylvester and Margaret ... Read More

This is a fun Bob Hope movie with wonderful additional acting by Walter Brennan too. A good farce in Bob Hope's classic style. My kids loved it too.

This movie was not what I would call laugh out loud funny, but I did giggle a few times and it made me smile a often.
Bob hope as the cowardly vaudevillian was naturally funny, as expected. I had never watched a Virgina Mayo movie before. She was pretty, funny, and had a great singing voice. Maude Eburne was convincing as the landlady of the inn. She was just creepy enough to be funny. However, it was Walter Brennan as Featherhead who stole the show. He played a crazy pirate, who was ...

When producer Samuel Goldwyn 'borrowed' Paramount's biggest comedy star, Bob Hope, for 1944's "The Princess and the Pirate", he provided the comedian with all the ingredients for a classic; a great script (by Everett Freeman, Dan Hartman, Melville Shavelson, and a host of uncredited Hope gag writers), a first-rate director (David Butler), a sexy co-star (Virginia Mayo), top-notch supporting players (including Walter Brennan, Walter Slezak, and Victor McLaglen), and a cameo by (who else?) Bing Crosby. How ... Read More
