It was a fascinating working relationship, as both of them were reportedly rather cold and distant personally but with each other that distance disappeared and they egged each other on so well. So hip and relaxed, and really the precursor to the knowing comic style that's pretty much de rigeur these days. I love their subversive charm and even if somebody doesn't like them individually, together they really made it work. Love 'em!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00345830456539347899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-63101686935033232562011-03-27T08:33:36.869-04:002011-03-27T08:33:36.869-04:00Hey, Dawn - if you ever decide to give them anothe...Hey, Dawn - if you ever decide to give them another chance, let me know what you think (a glass of wine while watching might help!).FlickChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351624749230610755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-29314384534467045052011-03-27T06:52:17.179-04:002011-03-27T06:52:17.179-04:00I never really got into the Hope and Crosby films....I never really got into the Hope and Crosby films.

I was very happy to do this post and hope it reminds a few of the joy those 2 brought to the screen.FlickChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351624749230610755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-11909037949964854732011-03-27T05:06:43.219-04:002011-03-27T05:06:43.219-04:00I'm of the right generation to have been lucky...I'm of the right generation to have been lucky enough to experience the magic of Hope and Crosby. I still miss them. ("Patty cake, patty case, baker's man, bake a cake as fast as you...*DOUBLE PUNCH*!") Their chemistry and perfect comic timing made the Road To movies true film treasures.<br /><br />Individually, they were also top of their game. Bob Hope, along with the great Willy Best, made one of my favorite funny movies, "The Ghost Breakers". Crosby in "Going My Way" made one of my favorite movies of the heart. <br /><br />What a lovely tribute and well-done review about these two greats. I hope they are never forgotten.ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9143901229925085760.post-72741673686367901092011-03-26T14:58:02.627-04:002011-03-26T14:58:02.627-04:00Thank you, my dear.
