4 out of 5 stars Wonderful Set.......2007-03-21

Despite the packaging - (disks pilled on top of each other so to get at the bottom disk you have to first remove the ones on top.) Very inconvientient to manage. Because of the packiaging I had to rate the set as a 4, but if I was just rating the transfers themselves I would have given it a 5. This is the best transfer of the movies included that I have ever seen. My Favorite Brunette and Road to Bali were especially good - video sharp and clear - sound acceptible for movies of this age. The color on Bali was especially good - others I've seen had very poor, washed out colors. I have been completely happy with this set and would not hesitate to recommend it.

I enjoyed the movies but the case it came in was really terrible so many disc's in a very badly designed holder. I am afraid they will become scratched!

4 out of 5 stars Great Set---Bad Packaging.......2007-01-17

If you're a fan of Bob Hope-then this is a great buy. Some Classics here including The Lemon Drop Kid, Seven Little Foys, 2 Road Movies ( Rio & Bali ) plus some of Hope's later-and lesser efforts, i.e. How to Commit Marriage etc.
Though not a fan of these later movies they're still interesting to watch, but it's the earlier stuff that makes this set well worth owning-and the price cannot be beaten.
The only drawback is that because of the budget price-tag the set is presented with five double-sided discs virtually stacked on top of each other making them easily damaged if not careful.
However, having said that, I'm very happy with this package at such a bargain price. Highly recommended.

MY FAVORITE BRUNETTE: Ronnie Jackson is a baby photographer who gets framed for murder. A mysterious femme fatale (Dorothy Lamour) asks him to locate her missing uncle, mistaking Ronnie for the gumshoe detective Sam McCloud. This detective genre spoof also stars horror legends Peter Lorre and Lon Chaney.
ROAD TO BALI: In an attempt to avoid disastrous marriage proposals, two entertainers leave Melbourne and begin working as divers. Their work takes them to a tropical island - Bali, where they meet a bombshell princess and, forgetting the mess they barely avoided, vie with each other for her favours.

5 out of 5 stars MARENGO COMPLETES RESTORATION.......2006-02-15

Marengo Films has just completed our second restoration of My Favorite Brunette. The older version of this film has been replaced and we believe our customers will welcome the change.

Our company spent thousands of dollars last year replacing several our our company's early prints with better products. DVD software, sound design software and editing software has changed since we first encoded this particular film. We have actively used these new tools and new prints to upgrade our product line.

We believe our customers will be thrilled with both prints.

We appreciate your business and as always we guarantee satisfaction of our products.

Best regards,

Craig Cosgray
President
Marengo Films

4 out of 5 stars THESE TITLES DESERVE MAJOR RESTORATION.......2006-01-21

My Favorite Brunette is an extremely well acted and funny movie. The image/sound quality of the films on this Marengo DVD is better than average and the great material makes any defect less noticeable.

5 out of 5 stars Classic Bob Hope.......2003-08-28

It is a joy to watch Bob Hope anytime. He was a great American and both of these films are really fun to watch. Road to Bali is an excellent print and My Favorite Brunette is obviously a little less so, but it is still a very nice print... probably a "B". I found both films up to par, the studio has cleaned the sound on them and for the money this DVD is a very nice bargan.

2 out of 5 stars Daniel J. Filice was right.......2003-03-29

I bought the DVD on the recommendation of the person who blessed Marengo Films. She must have been in their employ. The print from which my old Goodtimes tape of "My Favorite Brunette" was made was much cleaner. It's the one I'll keep.

4 out of 5 stars This disc is a 50/50 proposition........2003-01-28

I'm a huge Bob Hope fan. I have many of his films on tape and DVD. "My Favorite Brunette" was always one of my favorite Bob Hope films. I have an old tape version of "Brunette" that he personally signed for me many years ago. After reading reviews of how great Morengo Films did with this DVD, I readily bought this disc. I was really excited about the prospect of a "Brunette" transfer that would finally be better than the cruddy verison I have on tape or the copy I taped off of The Disney Channel. I can't say how disappointed I was in "Brunette" on this DVD. I swear the film must have been run through a dust bowl before it was transferred. My Disney Channel copy was ten times better, so either a better print exists somewhere or Disney spent time and money making their copy much cleaner. Makes me wonder how much worse the other DVD releases are of "Brunette." "Bali" was just fine on this DVD. Oh well, at least I don't need to rewind a tape.

    2 out of 5 stars Good movie, poor conversion to dvd.......2003-09-06

    This is a couple of good movies that document humor from another day and age. However, the production quality of the DVD leaves much to be desired. The audio track seems to be complete but the video track appears to have many holes in it which are filled by showing peices of the movie twice.
