3 Classics Of The Silver Screen: Volume 2 [DVD]

Triple-bill of Hollywood classics. In 'My Favourite Brunette' (1947) Ronnie Jackson (Bob Hope) is a photographer who aspires to the life of the private detective working in the office next door. Following a case of mistaken identity he gets the chance for some real sleuthing after he is employed to find the missing Baron Montay. Immediately out of his depth, the wise-cracking Ronnie is joined by Carlotta Montay (Dorothy Lamour), the Baron's niece, as he tries to track down the missing aristocrat. 'The Road to Hollywood' (1946) is a compilation of clips taken from Bing Crosby's early musical comedies from the 1930s, put together by low-budget film-maker Bud Pollard. 'Suddenly' (1954) is a gritty Cold War thriller where Frank Sinatra plays John Baron, a disillusioned war veteran who takes a family hostage while he waits for a chance to assassinate the President. Knowing that the President's cortege is due to pass by their house on a planned visit to the city, Baron has hired a group of professional killers to carry out the hit. At the same time, the terrified family must work together to try and foil the assassination attempt.
