Closed Captioned; Standard Screen; Soundtrack English The script of FANCY PANTS, based on the popular novel by Harry Leon Wilson, provides stars Bob Hope, Lucille Ball, and director George Marshall with the fantastically slapstick and silly material with which all three excel. Hope plays struggling actor Arthur Tyler, who is hired by a penniless British gentleman to act as his butler in order to impress nouveau riche Americans Agatha Floud (Lucille Ball) and her mother, Mrs. Floud. Hope's failures at maintaining even the smallest retinue of décor forces the British gent to let him go, but the Flouds are so enamored with Tyler that they hire him to work as their own butler in New Mexico. When Tyler arrives, he is confused as a visiting Earl, and is forced to maintain this charade when President Theodore Roosevelt comes to town. With New Mexico hoping the president's visit will help them achieve statehood, the political status of thousands rests firmly on Tyler's bumbling inability to be either British or royal. Meanwhile, Tyler and Aggie Floud are falling for each other, providing several fabulous scenes in which the two comic geniuses work their magic on each other.
This is the only Hugh French video. Stars also making their debut in this video: Jack Kirkwood, Lea Penman.

Fancy Pants Movie Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)  Extreme funny
Funny & entertaining for the whole family. Even kids today enjoy the unique funniness of this old movie, that only Bob Hope can bring to the screen.

It was a very cute movie, they don't make them like that anymore. My favorite part has all the dogs in it. The fox hunt.

This review is for a different format.  Bob Hope and Lucille Ball At Their Funniest!
My family and I screamed with laughter at the ridiculous antics of Bob Hope as the innocent but wiley Humphrey, the butler! Lucille Ball was his funny nemesis, Aggie Plout, daughter of a wealthy rancher. Humphrey was actually a down-and-out American actor disguising himself as an English butler in order to stave off starvation until his next "big break". Unfortunately, Aggie's Pa, Mr. Plout, innocently informs the townspeople that Humphrey was actually a titled Englishman, an Earl! The results are histerical-especially when none other than President Theodore Roosevelt pays a visit to the Plout ranch in order to meet the Earl of Brimstead, a.k.a. Humphrey the butler! Aggie's unacknowledged suitor, Cart Belknap, complicates the already nerve-wracking situation by his paranoid jealousy-he believes that Humphrey is out to steal Aggie from him. And when he inadvertently discovers Humphrey's true identity, all heck breaks loose as he will stop at nothing to expose not only Humphrey, but also the Plout family as phonies who are intentionally trying to deceive the President and townspeople of Big Squaw! This is a movie truly worth sharing with your family and friends. A TRUE WINNER!!!

Fancy Pants DVD
$16.89 
The title refers to the night when three men, Randy (Matt Dillon), his cousin Carl (Paul Reiser) and Detective Dehling (John Goodman), all meet Jewel Valentine (Liv Tyler) at a bar called McCool's. Actually, they don't so much meet her as fall under her spell when they first lay eyes on her. In her clinging red dress she looks like a cross between a beautiful damsel in distress and the Lady In Red looking for John Dillinger. The story begins with Randy, desperate to be rid of Jewel, hiring a sleazy hitman, played by Michael Douglas in an outré toupee. His story of how Jewel led him to ruin, filmed in a stylized flashback bathed in blue, is mirrored by Carl talking to his therapist--played ...

Fancy Pants DVD
$15.05
Coming off the success of 2006's ROCKY BALBOA, action star Sylvester Stallone revisits yet another of his iconic characters from the 1980s, John Rambo. Now living like a hermit and wrangling rattlesnakes in Thailand, Rambo is drawn back into the action by a group of do-gooder missionaries who want the taciturn, possibly psychotic, Vietnam vet to ferry them upriver into Burma. Though he initially proves reluctant--"Burma's a warzone"--Sarah, played by Julie Benz, convinces Rambo of their noble intentions. Doesn't he want to relieve suffering and stop ethnic cleansing? But when the group of idealists gets captured by the Burmese army, it's up to Rambo and a team of multinational mercenaries to save the day. What follows is an exhilarating, hypnotic explosion of violence as Rambo fights genocide with genocide, turning men into hamburger meat with high-powered machine guns, well-placed bombs, razor-sharp machetes, and, the most deadly weapon of all, his bare hands.
Rather than trying to update the character, RAMBO succeeds largely by returning to the Reagan-era values that made its hero so great in the first place: his pathological obsession ...
