Bachelor In Paradise

Starring: Hope, Bob and Turner, Lana

America was sprawling away from Main Street, transforming into a nation of bedroom communities within easy commute of the office. But what's going on in those bedrooms? Bob Hope intends to find out when he plays a Bachelor in Paradise. Always quick with a quip, Hope portrays Arthur J. Niles, noted author of books that offer worldly advice while documenting the lifestyles and love life of various cultures. His newest study: Paradise Village, a rambling new suburb in Southern California's San Fernando Valley. Lana Turner, in her only screen teaming with the comedy legend, portrays the stylish unmarried femme who works in the tract's sales office. Ah, looks like Paradise may somehow lose a bachelor but gain a comedy.

Customer Reviews

Now there is a man with an arrested development.

Would you believe that Jack Arnold directed this movie? The same person who directed “Creature from the Black Lagoon” (1954). One look at the cast and you can tell that this is going to be a great movie. Most of the cast shows up in John Wayne movies. And maybe Road movies. And the music is Henry Mancini. You also get a nice view of the high desert in southern California. A.J. Niles writes risqué books about how Europeans live. Now, due to a tax mix-up, he must return to the US. His publisher subsidizes his new research on how Americans live. He does this research incognito as Jack Adams, the only bachelor in a housing development named “Paradise Valley.” Looks like trouble is stirring in Paradise. I tell my wife, “I keep everything on the top shelf.”
