So...Really delightful run-through pictorial, Java! Somehow I missed this one, me, a Bob Hope fanatic! That man was just comic genius in his delivery and timing. I hate to say that I never liked Martha Raye much -- too much Martha is like one martini too many -- I get dizzy and my head hurts!<br /><br />Loved the picture of the guy at the water taps and your funny caption. That's probably the same water we are buying bottled for big money today! And your comments about Gale's and Martha's outfits were laugh-out-loud.<br /><br />Great contribution to the blogathon, Java. thanks for all the hard work capturing the pictures to use for your funny spoof!ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22615056.post-29134392057672624192011-05-17T21:31:28.489-04:002011-05-17T21:31:28.489-04:00Java,

However, I like the cast, and I like early Hope films, so now I need to see this and "Cat and the Canary."

Secondly, this sounds like a delightful Bob Hope comedy and somehow I've never seen it. Dorian referenced my all-time favorite comedy routine from THE COURT JESTER...so that's just one more reason to see NEVER SAY DIE. Thanks, Java, for selecting a movie that I'm looking forward to watching.Rick29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08358116647815569722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22615056.post-31483138340045449222011-05-17T16:20:43.702-04:002011-05-17T16:20:43.702-04:00Your post is hilarious! - I love the mano-a-mano w...Your post is hilarious! - I love the mano-a-mano with the costumes. I agree w/DorianTB, the pistol mix-up made me think of the vessel-with-the-poison routine from Court Jester. I've seen 2 or 3 other Hope-Raye pictures, but not this one, but I will certainly look for it - thanks for such a witty article!Grand Old Movieshttp://grandoldmovies.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22615056.post-83832414020989975892011-05-17T13:36:08.242-04:002011-05-17T13:36:08.242-04:00Java, I'm a big Bob Hope fan, but I've nev...Java, I'm a big Bob Hope fan, but I've never caught up with NEVER SAY DIE. After reading your great review with those hilarious photos and captions, I'm eager to get ahold of both NEVER SAY DIE and THE CAT AND THE CANARY for a double-feature. "There's a cross on the muzzle of the pistol with the bullet and a nick on the handle of the pistol with the blank" brings to mind Danny Kaye in THE COURT JESTER -- okay, I'll make that a triple feature! :-) Terrific blog post!DorianTBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357778472575080022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22615056.post-26952033110342097302011-05-17T13:24:00.234-04:002011-05-17T13:24:00.234-04:00This was a fantastic write-up.

I have not seen this early Hope film but coincidently wrote about another Hope work, THE CAT AND THE CANARY, for the blogathon which also happens to have Gale Sondergaard in a supporting role. What are the odds? Our CMBA co-member, Ivan has also given good word of mouth on this film.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01808503055317962289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22615056.post-12204692383988636442011-05-17T07:59:01.864-04:002011-05-17T07:59:01.864-04:00I have not seen this light-hearted film..
