About this product

Product Information

The script of FANCY PANTS, based on the popular novel by Harry Leon Wilson, provides stars Bob Hope, Lucille Ball, and director George Marshall with the fantastically slapstick and silly material with which all three excel. Hope plays struggling actor Arthur Tyler, who is hired by a penniless British gentleman to act as his butler in order to impress nouveau riche Americans Agatha Floud (Lucille Ball) and her mother, Mrs. Floud. Hope's failures at maintaining even the smallest retinue of décor forces the British gent to let him go, but the Flouds are so enamored with Tyler that they hire him to work as their own butler in New Mexico. When Tyler arrives, he is confused as a visiting Earl, and is forced to maintain this charade when President Theodore Roosevelt comes to town. With New Mexico hoping the president's visit will help them achieve statehood, the political status of thousands rests firmly on Tyler's bumbling inability to be either British or royal. Meanwhile, Tyler and Aggie Floud are falling for each other, providing several fabulous scenes in which the two comic geniuses work their magic on each other.

  • One of Hope's better comedies

    If your a Bob Hope fan you will like this typical Hope styled comedy. The technical quality of the DVD print is quite good as well. I got a great bargain on this video and would give 5 stars....but very few films get that rating from. Still....a fun movie worthy of multiple viewings with a great cast and a pretty picture quality. Go for it!!!

  • The BEST of the BEST!

    Bob Hope and Lucille Ball are riotous and romantic in this breezy Western farce, made just one year before we Loved Lucy! Great songs and sight gags make this a classic for the whole family. Also on EBay: Hope’s Alias Jesse James, Danny Kaye’s Court Jester, and Jonathan Winter’s Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad,World. BUY THEM!

  • Great selection of a title. Bob Hope did act like a "fancy pants".

    It is a comedy and it was funny. As always Bob Hope is funny as is Lucy. There were a couple of scenes that made me laugh. It was when the dogs got after Bob. The other is when the Mother in the story faints when the president unexpectedly shows up before she is ready for him. I probably would have panicked myself. All in all I enjoyed it.
