Aboard a ship bound for America he finds himself falling for the beautiful Princess Margaret (Mayo) a woman uninterested in love not to mention his lousy one-liners. But when an evil band of pirates attacks the ship and captures the princess her only hope is the cowardly comedian. Can Sylvester stop cracking jokes and muster the courage to rescue his royal love? In other words will he and Margaret end up walking down the aisle or walking the plank?System Requirements: Runnning Time 94 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: NR UPC: 027616923493 Manufacturer No: 1008318 Amazon.com: 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 Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Sure,there are some flaws in the print,but it's classic Bob Hope!!! Like people have said in their reviews,there is some print quality issues,but this is a classic Bob Hope film,right up there with the classic "Road Too..." films!!! I guess that MGM doesn't want to fully restore this one right now,its still better than cheapie public domain prints,well a little better anyway!!! Remember,to fully restore a film properly is very costly!!! I got this one brand new at retail store for only $3.99+tax,not a bad deal at all,since I've paid more for cheapie no-name DVD's ...

Bob Hope is his charming-best in THE PRINCESS AND THE PIRATE (1944), a fun Technicolor musical comedy with lots of great sight gags for Hope and company, plus a romantic Virginia Mayo in lush period dress. 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 Rating: - A good laugh 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. Rating: - My copy of this cute movie worked just fine 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 ... Read More Rating: - One of Bob Hope's best, a Hilarious Pirate Spoof! 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 ...
