'You mean, like the Republicans?'), and you get this lively updating of the 'old dark house' chiller. Paulette Goddard co-stars as the heiress who catches Hope's eye; with Gale Sondergaard, George Zucco. 74 min. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Cat and Canary Review The Cat and the Canary is one of Bob Hope's early films, and is very entertaining. I took a chance on it, having never seen it and I'm glad I did. There is plenty of Hope's brand of humor along with some spooky scenes, and of course Paulette Goddard looks as good as always. The plot isn't complex, but then again it is a comedy with some very good actors & actresses in it, so the humor, the acting and the interesting characters (a lot of these) make this a worth-while buy. One thing I like ... Read More Rating: - The Cat & the Canary The Cat & the Canary was the eleventh film Bob Hope appeared in. It's the old haunted house theme that has what would be called, today, cliches. That doesn't detract from the film because they weren't really cliches for 1939. In some of the scenes it almost feels like Hope is doing radio, it's typical Hope, he's ever the coward. Hope's co-star, Paulette Goddard, only makes her ninth appearance in a movie. The film takes place in a haunted house in an isolated Louisiana bayou. The ... Read More Rating: - Great film,okay dvd. This review is really to confirm what a couple of other (British) reviewers have said:although this isn't a pristine copy of the film of the standard of Ghost Breakers it is currently the best version available.Both sound and picture are far superior to the Region 2 version and well worth buying simply for that.That's not to say there aren't faults with this copy,there are,but even so I would defintely recommend this until someone like Universal gets back the copyright and issues a decent version worthy ... Read More Rating: - one of bobs best!! if you want to add this classic old comedy/horror to your dvd collection,then this is currently the best version to purchase (please avoid the truly dreadful region 2 version from orbit media) the picture quality is not perfect by any means,some blur and a general lack of sharpness-however the picture is good enough overall and is certainly still very watchable,also the film appears to be in full-uncut.it would be good to finally see a major name like universal getting the go ahead to release this classic ... Read More Rating: - Great early Bob Hope comedy. But Nostalia Family copy is 2nd generation DVD-r This rarely seen Bob Hope comedy is a delight to see. But it does not hold up well against the original silent version. The original mood & atmosphere is gone, what you have here is a brisk old house mystery/comedy. It stands up well on its own, and is best seen without watching the original. My reason for only four stars is because the Nostalgia Family DVD is really a DVD-r copied from a 3/4 video tape. There is a slight blurriness to some objects not common to professional DVDs. It is ...
