Bob Hope: Salutes the Troops (3 Disc Set) Description: When it comes to worldwide coverage, Bob Hope was the greatest entertainer of the 20th century, easily moving from Broadway to radio to movies to television. Bob spent half of his 100 Christmases entertaining our troops like a globe-hopping Santa Claus with a golf club, an overstuffed sack of jokes and an airplane full of stars. TV viewers looked forward to these annual broadcast specials. They enjoyed dynamite performances by Ann-Margret and Lola Falana and felt the warmth of Don Ho leading a sing-along of Tiny Bubbles. Bob bantered and his wife, Dolores Hope, helped out. Silent Night closed each show on a solemn, heart-warming note. Despite the merriment on stage, the troops knew this was serious business as the ominous roar of fighter jets overhead reminded them. Hope's missions were often dangerous, his schedule was brutal, yet he never failed to leave audiences "laughing all the way".  For thousands far from home, there was no one like Hope for the holidays! A visit from Hope was the best present a serviceman or servicewoman could receive short of spending Christmas with their families. Thanks to Bob Hope: Salutes the Troops, Bob's ability to bring joy to millions is a gift that keeps on giving! This 3 disc DVD set contains over 6 1/2 hours of footage and entertainment of Bob Hope doing what he did best. Please refer to the back cover photo included in this listing to see a brief description of some of the highlights of this set.
