Bob Hope repeats as the son of a frontier dentist in this 1952 sequel to his highly successful The Paleface—only this one is much, much funnier, directed by a then recent graduate of the Warner Brothers cartoon shop, Frank Tashlin, and full of outrageous visual gags (a wheel comes off Hope's car during a chase; he stands up, throws a noose over the side, and holds up the axle—“You'd better hurry up,” he tells the driver, “this is impossible!”). In glorious Technicolor, complete with Jane Russell and Roy Rogers.

Sorry there are no showtimes for Son of Paleface on Saturday, November 21.
