This was made during Bob Hope’s best period, and this fun, playful comedy has Bob committing to tell the truth for 24 hours – or lose $10,000. Paulette Goddard is the romantic interest, and their chemistry again works in this, their third film together.
The Can’t-tell-a-lie premise is a reliable comedy hook – whether for Jim Carrey’s in “Liar, Liar” or Lucy Ricardo on “I Love Lucy.”
Paramount again supported Bob with a strong supporting cast, including Willie Best, Edward Arnold, and Leif Ericson.
