I enjoyed this. It is corny, but I have seen clips of Eddie Foy, Jr. doing his Dad's routines, and impressed with his talent. I love his version of "But He Goes To Church on Sundays," in the movie Lillian Russell. It is classic, and if his Dad was that good, I am impressed.
I agree completely. Bob Hope did a great job in the movie but I wish they had gotten Eddie Jr. But Hope was a bigger star. Other Foys made their mark in Hollywood producing and other things, not so much in front of the camera.
You know... If kids had to actually had to work for some of their living they would appreciate what they have. They would have a trade to support themselves and their families as adults. I'm 50 and i worked and it gave me those things.
I've forgotten how much I dislike laugh tracks. Growing up with early TV I was used to them but now being able to stream content without the "cues", so much better. But I still love the older movies.
Originally presented (in color) on "BOB HOPE PRESENTS THE CHRYSLER THEATER" [later syndicated as "UNIVERSAL STAR TIME"] on January 24, 1964, and intended as a pilot for a projected weekly series [NBC passed on the idea]. Hope himself acts as narrator {and makes a brief appearance as "himself"}. Note the presence of a laugh track throughout the episode...
@@randyosmond9840 Exactly. The Osmonds could have done these acts perfectly (see Andy Williams Show). They must have had fun doing this. Too bad they didn't do a series but it would have been hard to come up with plots.
The Bob Hope verison is soooooo much better. A laugh track was added so you'll know where the jokes are. The Osmonds? No thank you.... But seeing Eddie Foy jr is a delight.
Love it. Wish they made movies like this today.

I saw this movie before anyone had heard of the Osmonds - lol

George Tobias reprised his roll from the film.
Parker House "roll" or Crescent "roll?"
Didn’t know the Osmond brothers could act too.
It is very apparent that they can't.
@@darbyzworld They were acting Playing bad
The movie was done in the 1950s. The Osmonds came much later.
The Osmonds were on the Andy Williams show at this time

Who would sit still for this boring so called entertainment?
How dreadful....

Agree. Could not watch a full five minutes. Just annoying. Thank you for posting.
