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. BIG ...

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.

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: - 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 ...
