THE PALEFACE

Details

• Release Year: 1948
• Genre: Classic, Comedy, Western
• Plot: The Wild West has never been wilder - or funnier - than in this classic six-shootin' farce which introduced the Academy Award-winning song 'Buttons and Bows.'; ; In one of his most popular roles, Bob Hope plays 'Painless' Peter Potter, a timid correspondence school dentist earning a shaky living in the lawless West. When 'Painless' is seduced into agreeing to a quickie marriage by the voluptuous Jane Russell, he thinks his luck has changed. Little does he suspect that Russell is actually sharpshooter Calamity Jane, hot on the trail of a dangerous renegade gang and that she is simply using 'Painless' as her cover and unwitting dupe!; ; This Old West burlesque, brightened by Technicolor and uproarious slapstick went on to become one of Bob Hope's best-loved film vehicles and his biggest box office hit. Saddle up for the wild comic ride!;
