Took a stroll through my image folder on Son Of Paleface (1952), and a gallery seemed like a good idea. Here’s an incredible signed still.
I’ve amassed so many images over the last few years, it seems like a real shame not to post them, especially the behind-the-scenes shots. Watch for more from other films.
Here, Cecil B. DeMille (waiting to shoot his cameo), Frank Tashlin and Bob Hope (obscured) look on as Jane Russell’s bubbles are strategically arranged.
Jane Russell: “I even took a bath in the same tub Paulette Goddard had once used.” The tub was a leftover from DeMille’s Unconquered (1947).
In a goofy promo shot, Jane and Bob help Roy feed Trigger.
Here’s makeup artist Charlie Gemora with doubles for Jane and Bob. Note Junior’s car in the background (complete with wagon wheels). Photo courtesy charliegemora.com.
The perfect movie…..
One of my all-time favorites. It’s a toss-up between this, Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein and W.C. Fields’ It’s A Gift for the Funniest Film I’ve Ever Seen badge.
Son Of Paleface works on so many levels. The authenticity Roy gives it is probably its major coup.
I’m looking forward to introducing my daughter to it sometime this summer.
I’ll be smiling all day thinking about these pictures and the movie.
Great stuff. The autographed picture is spectacular.
This needs to be on Blu-ray pronto.
Remember the ill-fated HD discs? It was available that way, and I heard it looked great.
Love this movie, my favorite Bob Hope picture. Great image gallery – thanks for sharing! Here’s another wish for a shiny Blu-Ray of this someday…
I never bought an HD-DVD disc — I didn’t go high def until the Blu-ray/HD-DVD wars were over with. (I got sucked into the Betamax/VHS wars — my husband and I spent $1000 on a Betamax machine when they were the newest and hottest things on the market — it ended up in a storage locker and finally disappeared who knows where. I wasn’t going to do that again!) Wonder what’s taking that Blu-ray so long. 🙂
I really loved my Super-VHS player–it had all the bells and whistles, and back then, they offered truly amazing features. But nothing was better then DVD, picture-wise, and Blu-ray is that much better than standard DVD. There have been a lot of articles decrying the death Blu-ray, and all plastic media. Possibly, your extras-laden disc catalog will turn to gourmet labels.
I went the Super-Beta route, which I loved. Cinemax was running Columbia Westerns and William Castle pictures hot and heavy and I quickly got hooked.
Those were the days!
Does anyone know where the car/wagon that bob Hope drives in the movie is ???
Good question. I’d love to see it someday.
