The Petrillo reference goes by in an instant, like a lot of Hope's lines, but I caught it because when I was a kid, I thought "James C. Petrillo" was a quite euphonious name. Hope's envelope-pushing was evident on some of his radio shows of my childhood. I even caught a couple of things, myself.mybillcriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02350478005243505108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-46157240628504150902008-01-23T15:01:00.000-06:002008-01-23T15:01:00.000-06:00Indeed, I've seen the public domain print discs fo...Indeed, I've seen the public domain print discs for MY FAVORITE BRUNETTE selling at gas station convenience stores for 50c. Now That's a bargain. (I think I paid $2-3 for my Laserlight disc at a B&N).<BR/><BR/>I must admit, I had to refresh my memory of who Petrillo was, but certainly as a jazz fan curse his memory (on the more selfish levels) for the 1940s recording bans. But I certainly dug the movie when I first saw it as a teen, and haven't given it a spin since quickly checking the disc to see if it wasn't faulty several years ago. I suspect your daughter simply had your number. (It's a sad thing anyone thought Jerry Lewis comedies were funny...and, of course, no one thought Bob Hope's 1960s comedies were funny. In fact, I was disappointed in GHOST BREAKERS after enjoying BRUNETTE as much as I did.) And, if anything, Hope was the George Carlin of his time, pushing the language and innuendo envelopes harder than anyone on radio aside from Mae West, but they all knew about Her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-28791903208298753132008-01-23T12:13:00.000-06:002008-01-23T12:13:00.000-06:00Surely we aren't the only ones.Surely we aren't the only ones.mybillcriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02350478005243505108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-15816529295585890452008-01-23T11:56:00.000-06:002008-01-23T11:56:00.000-06:00So the mystery is finally solved!
