Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Bob Hope brings his own brand of laughing gas to the Wild West as a would-be 'painless' dentist lassoed into marrying Jane Russell. She's a shapely outlaw turned undercover agent on the trail of some varmints selling guns to a hostile Indian tribe, and he's her unwitting cover. Hope cowers and cracks self-effacing jokes while bodies fall around him ('Brave men run in my family,' he quips, then runs), but he's even funnier swaggering and sneering like a kid playing cowboy in a flamboyant costume apparently stolen from the Oklahoma! road show. The Paleface is one of his best films, and the unflappable Russell is a great match. Theme song 'Buttons and Bows' (which Hope delivers with a clowning mock twang) won an Oscar®, and the 1948 film spawned a sequel (Son of Paleface, costarring Roy Rogers and Trigger) and a remake (The Shakiest Gun in the West with Don Knotts). --Sean Axmaker

I have loved this movie and the sequel, Son of Paleface, since childhood. Jane Russell is at her best in both films. As a classic film buff I think this movie should be in any collection.

The first movie I received from Amazon.Com had the voices start after the picture started. It was similar to a foreign film dubbed into english.
The second movie didn't have the same problem.
I thought it was a classic Bob Hope movie. It was an enjoyable film, and quite funny, although I don't thinkl it will appeal to all people. As soon as money becomes available I will look at purchasing others.

This is my favourite "western" ever! Well, it isn't really a western, but Jane Russell is Calamity Jane! She's a woman on a mission to right some wrongs, but the bad guys are after her, so she picks up 'Painless Peter Potter'(Bob Hope) and the hilarities begin as she poses as his wife. Jane is a delight, but Bob really steals the show. He also sings his award-winning 'Buttons and Bows'. I recommend this one for a night of fun and laughter. (Why not follow up with 'Son of Paleface?')

This is perhaps Bob Hope's funniest film, what more can I say. But you'll laugh whether he's pulling teeth, killing indians or dressing like a disgraced medicine man. There's also Jane Russell as a glamarous Calamity Jane.

First shown in the late '40s, this film continues to be amusing, with catchy tunes. It seems somewhat different from Bob Hope's other films and well worth seeing again.
