Although Bob Hope has been the subject of many biographies, no book yet has fully explored the comic persona he created in vaudeville and radio, brought to fruition in dozens of films from the 1930s through the 1960s, and made a lasting influence on comedians from Woody Allen to Conan O'Brien. In this book film comedy authority Donald W. McCaffrey finally places Hope in his well-deserved position among the highest rank of film comedians of his era. Drawing on archival materials and interviews with collaborators, McCaffrey analyzes each major film in depth, with due attention to particular sequences that reveal how Hope created a unique comic personality that lasted over dozens of very popular films, from the Road movies with Bing Crosby through such underrated classics as Son of Paleface, Monsieur Beaucaire, and Casanova's Big Night. In so doing, McCaffrey introduces readers to a Bob Hope now overshadowed by his own reputation. We see here that Hope's significance has been greater than any USO appearance or television special might suggest. Many of these movies have recently been made available on DVD and for the first time in decades they are now available to the general public. This volume will serve as an excellent introduction for those wanting to see these films for the first time.

The name is embroidered in the tapestry of Texas, rising from the sun-baked coastal plains in the infancy of the state, itself. King Ranch is the inspiration of legends and speculation, tradition and history. Rawhide-tough through drought, Indian attacks, Civil War, and the Great Depression among other trials, King Ranch is the star of Texas. Now, the memoirs of Helen King Kleberg Alexander-Groves, only child of Bob and Helen Kleberg, give a personal glimpse of life on the much-storied ranch, the Kings and the Klebergs. Also included is the history of Helen's Campbell family of Kansas and Washington, DC. This book chronicles not only the history of the ranch, but also the life of Bob and Helen Kleberg, the first family of cattle ranching. From the development of the Santa Gertrudis cattle breed, first cattle breed developed in America and the first breed recognized world-wide in over a century, to the Triple-Crown-winning Thoroughbred, Assault, Bob and Helen Kleberg changed the ranching industry. The memoirs of 'Helenita' open the door to the romance of the Southwest cattle ranching as well as the grit, the glory, the inner-workings of King Ranch in Texas and its ranches around the world. Presented with over 200 never-before-released photographs, some by Toni Frissell and many be her close friend and fellow photographer, Helen Campbell Kleberg herself, this illustrated portrait includes accounts of the famous hospitality of the Klebergs, extended not only to the celebrities and dignitaries who were entertained regularly, but to the Kinenos, the loyal ranch hands first brought to King Ranch by Captain King. Hemingwayesque photos depict the Texas brush country hunting for which the ranch is still famous. This memoir is a view from the center of the King Ranch legacy, perpetuated now for 150 years, and as incomparable introduction to the fascinating Kleberg family. As beautiful as it is personal, Bob and Helen Kleberg of King Ranch is a requisite addition to the library of any ranching, history, or Texana afficionado. . Signed by Author. First Edition.
