Burlesque comedian Peanuts White (Also, Bob Hope); a dead ringer for Augustine is recruited by the government to take over Augustine’s mission. He’s briefed in the role of the suave and romantic Augustine, dressed to look exactly like him and is thrust into the world of espionage and international intrigue. In Tangiers, he meets Lily Dalbray (Hedy Lamarr), Augustine’s sweetheart, a beautiful spy working with Karl Brubaker (Francis L. Sullivan) mastermind of the spy ring.

  | Robert S. | | Bob Hope usually makes fun pictures for me to watch. But watching Hedy Lamarr transcends almost every other 'watching' reason. Unless it's Gene Tierney. Or Janis Carter. Binnie Barnes... Frances Gifford... Ella Raines... well, never mind those For now. Bob and Hedy? Plus a fun story? I started with high expectations and saw even more. |
