Synopsis
William Robert Faith's biography of Bob Hope, revised for the comedian's 100th birthday in 2003, is a rich store of both vaudeville and Hollywood history. Hope's early years are brought to life by Faith's meticulous research, while his first forays into show business are similarly illuminated with references to his personal problems with family and the perennial difficulty of obtaining new comedy material. His rise through the then-popular medium of radio is well documented, as is his facility with putting together both a first-class cast and a snappy script to match his rapid-fire delivery and traveling salesman patter, and his use of the medium to develop his lovable rogue persona (which he later used to good effect in the series of ROAD... movies he made with Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour). In addition, his work with the USO that started in the Second World War and continued in every conflict through to the Gulf War is amply illustrated, with the circumstances in which performances were often delivered harrowingly described. A LIFE IN COMEDY is a superlative, detail packed reminiscence of one of the 20th century's best-loved American entertainers.
