 Bob
Hope - The Vietnam Years
Product Description:
Originally broadcast on NBC, the 9 complete hour-long shows
included in this set feature Hope’s classic comedy stand-up
and wonderfully entertaining sketches and musical performances
with celebrity guests including Racquel Welch, Phyllis Diller,
Neil Armstrong, Jim Nabors, Lola Falana and many more. While
providing quality entertainment for the troops and to families
across the nation, these specials also documented the history
of one of the most turbulent times in America. Each show is
narrated by Hope and includes information about his ambitious
tours through Thailand, Taiwan and Guam as well as touching
interviews with the soldiers he met along the way.
Hope’s holiday salute to the troops became an instant
favorite with television audiences. The 1965 special won an
Emmy Award® and the special from 1970 is still ranked
among the 15 highest-rated television programs to date. Bob
Hope will always be remembered for his dedication to the armed
forces. Back in 1941 he began the custom of traveling the
world to uplift the spirit of American troops stationed over
seas. This custom became tradition the Christmas of ‘48
when Bob, with wife Dolores, flew to Europe to entertain Americans
involved with the Berlin airlift.
Always at the top of his game on the road, his devotion endured
through the sixties and seventies, when American Troops were
deployed to Vietnam. This 3-disc set captures Hope’s
most memorable moments as he performed for the troops from
1964 - 1972.

Description:
"If I had my life to live over again, I wouldn't
have time."
-- Bob Hope
The legendary wit and unmistakable voice of America's favorite
showman are captured here in the master entertainer's memoir of
his first fifty years in show business.
From his one-night stands in vaudeville to countless performances
for servicemen on U.S. military bases across the globe, this delightfully
candid book of funny life stories is pure Hope. In his own words,
Hope recalls his brief career as an amateur prizefighter; his
flops and successes in vaudeville; memories of sharing the stage
with Ethel Merman and Jimmy Durante; his courtship of the young
singer who would become his bride; his forgettable first screen
test; his friendship with Bing Crosby and their high jinks on
the sets of the famous Road pictures; poignant and hair-raising
trips to entertain the troops; a personal request from General
Patton; and eighteen holes of golf with President Eisenhower.
Bob Hope was the unchallenged king of the one-liner, a consummate
performer, and a beloved supporter of our men in uniform, and
his irrepressible spirit shines through in these hilarious, nostalgic,
and truly memorable stories from a life lived to bring laughter
to others. |
