Kino Lorber have detailed their upcoming Blu-ray release of Sidney Lanfield's Sorrowful Jones (1949), starring Bob Hope, Lucille Ball, William Demarest, Bruce Cabot, and Thomas Gomez. The release will be available for purchase on February 7.
Screen legends Bob Hope (The Paleface) and Lucille Ball (Fancy Pants) unite for the first time in this heartwarming story spun from Damon Runyon's famous fable about a penny-pinching Broadway bookie called Sorrowful Jones (that's Hope). Sorrowful takes a bet from a rotten gambler who leaves his young daughter as collateral. When the bettor doesn't come back, Sorrowful Jones learns some hard lessons about parenthood—whether he wants to or not! On top of that, Lucy plays nightclub singer Gladys O'Neil, the apple of Sorrowful's eye. But gangster Bruce Cabot (King Kong) stakes his claim on her affections and the sparks fly in all directions. A remake of the 1934 Shirley Temple film Little Miss Marker, this wonderful version from director Sidney Lanfield (Where There's Life, The Lemon Drop Kid) marks Hope's debut as a bonafide "actor."
