Bob Hope plays a ham actor who rescues princess Virginia Mayo from pirates in this lively Technicolor comedy. Hope is very funny, as usual. Virginia Mayo is gorgeous. Technicolor always was her friend. There are some fine character actors in the cast like Victor McLaglen, Walter Slezak, and Walter Brennan. Everyone seems to be having a great time playing dress-up and acting silly. The costumes and set are nice. Did I mention the lovely Technicolor? Well I will again because I love me some Technicolor. It's just a wacky movie that doesn't take itself the least bit seriously. A good one to just sit back, watch, and forget your troubles for awhile. Fun for young and old alike.
