Good for a few Laughs

Warning: Spoilers
I am a Bob Hope fan. I used to like to watch his Christmas Specials on Television. At least I think I watched those. I don't Remember exactly. And the only movie of Bobs I have watched before Alias Jesse James is call me Bwana. And that was so long ago I don't remember the plot of call me Bwana.

I thought Alias Jesse james was good for a few laughs. Probably the funniest scene was near the beginning of the movie where Bob is in a poker game. He has no money so I believe it was Jesse tore off Bobs clothes and put them on the poker table as his bet. He ends up in his red long johns.

In one scene Bob aka Milfred.drinks hard liquor and when he does his had bulges and steam comes out of his ears. That did not do much for the scene.

And later in the movie when Milfred and cora lee were trying to get away from jesse. Cora lee was driving the wagon and for most of the sene Milfred was in the wagon but, he had to run because he was standing up with his feet on the ground because the floor of the wagon had broken. Didn't make me laugh at all. I suppose I could say he was surrounded by the wagon.

I thought Alias Jesse james tired to be funny but, missed the mark most of the time.

I noticed that Alias Jesse James came out in the same year as some like it hot. I thought some like it hot was a much better movie.
