Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon
Basil Rathbone as Sherlock Holmes and Nigel Bruce as Dr. John Watson appear in this fourth feature based loosely on Conan Doyle's short story "The Adventure of the Dancing Men." More of a spy thriller than mystery, and set during the second World War, the detective and his partner must crack a secret code in order to save the world. Aiding the Nazis is non-other than their nemesis Professor Moriarty.

Lavish settings and breathtaking costumes add to the delight of this comedy set in 18th-century Italy. Bob Hope's a tailor who impersonates the swashbuckling lover Casanova and ends up in absolute boudoir bedlam.

Mesterspionen
Bob Hope is up to his famous nose in danger in this espionage comedy. Second-rate burlesque comic Peanuts White (Hope) is approached by federal agents who think that he's international spy Eric Augustine, to whom Peanuts bears a striking resemblance. When they realize that Peanuts and Eric are two different people, the FBI persuades him to travel to Africa posing as Eric and fetch a batch of microfilm that could prove vital to national security.

Fancy Pants
Well, fancy that! Bob Hope and Lucille Ball join forces in a Technicolor. Remake of Ruggles of Red Gap and let loose a stampede of laughs. Wise-cracking Bob is a teddibly, teddibly British valet brought to the Old West to teach Old World charms to a certain redheaded tomboy. Of course, Bob's not really a valet. He's an out-of-work actor who's stumbled across the role of his life. It's tea at 4:00 p.m. and don't fan your soup with your hat, but will proper etiquette protect Bob from Lucy's jilted beau?
