Alias Jesse James (1959)
Bob Hope strikes gold again in the hilarious western spoof Alias Jesse James. He plays a meek and incompetent life insurance salesman whose only commissions come from little old ladies at death’s door. He gets fired because he’s cost the company so much money, but to redeem himself, he tries for one more sale. At a chance meeting in a saloon, he sells a $10,000 policy to a cowboy, Wendell Corey. The manager is overjoyed until he reads the name on the policy: Jesse James. He orders Bob to find Jesse and personally bodyguard the notorious outlaw so they won’t have to cash in on the policy.
It’s one hilarious gag after another, with mistaken identities, close calls, and set-ups that can only make you laugh by Bob Hope. If you liked The Paleface, you’ll love this one. Plus, you get to see the knockout Rhonda Fleming wearing some lovely costumes and flirting around with both leading men. She’s so pretty! I’m sure everyone’s favorite part is the end, though, when lots of old western heroes make cameos: Gary Cooper, Gene Autry, James Garner at Bret Maverick, James Arness as Marshal Matt Dillon, Ward Bond, Gail Davis as Annie Oakley, Hugh O’Brian as Wyatt Earp, Fess Parker as Davy Crockett, Jay Silverheels as Tonto, Roy Rogers and Trigger all make appearances. I don’t know why John Wayne or Randolph Scott didn’t pop in for a quick hello, but the others are great and funny.
