Sorrowful Jones 1949 (Comedy) Bob Hope & Lucille Ball 

Thank you who ever you are for making this available, I'm a 61 year old man, lonely on this Thanksgiving night. This movie reminds me of when I was a child growing up and my father used to watch a lot of stuff like this. God bless you.

I'm 64, disabled, and alone this Easter weekend. Thank you for all of the great movies that I'm finding on your site.

JUST TURNED 60 ON APRIL 7th 2024 & DID I EVER ENJOY THIS MOVIE!!!! BOB HOPE ALWAYS MADE GREAT ONES!!!! NEVER KNEW LUCILLE BALL HAD SUCH A BEAUTIFUL VOICE EITHER!!!!! IMMENSE THANKS AND BLESSINGS FOR FINDING THIS TREASURE!!!!! 🙏 👍😎👏🤗

😊 Thank you. At 65, Bob Hope and Lucille Ball always make me happy. I can relate to the lonely on Thanksgiving. I had 6 children and have tried to celebrate the BIG holiday (holy days), on another days to avoid the same days of the kids in-laws. My son, not married, who passed away 3 years ago, complained about how lonely it was for him, when he had no place to go on the "DAY" everyone was celebrating. This year, I felt his sorrow and was lonely. I try to keep keep focusing on all of my blessings instead of what I have lost. It's not always easy, but it sure does help, to thank God for all of our blessing, instead of what we lost. Have a great day!!!!

Two wonderful delightful people who made millions laugh without a curse word mentioned. The pathetic vulgar comedians of today are not in the same class as these two.

Love the decency of these movies, cloths, scenes, dialogue, actors, etc. Style etc. Cant get it now, glad I grew up watching Bob Hope and all that era of movies. 2024.

I am 52yr old man & this classic of Bob Hope is just unforgettable. It's so simple but extraordinary. Loved it from my heart.

I'm 70 and I've not seen this movie, or maybe I"ve forgotten, what a blast Bob Hope and Lucille Ball, were quite the broadway and entertainment colabs.

As one who watches almost always old b/w classic movies, I don't think I've ever seen a movie here on RU-vid that had a better quality than this one. The copy is absolutely perfect watching it on my big screen. The picture is crisp and sharp like it was produced very recently. Also, I pay 13.99 for RU-vid premium so no ads, and, for me, it's worth every penny of it! Thanks for providing us with this wonderful film! 😊

❤ the little girl reminds me of my 5 year old great granddaughter ❤and I love her so much 😊😊😊😊😊

If Mr. Hope's in the show then you know it's gonna be good fun and family friendly.

Bob Hope is a relic of an older time when American entertainers could be relevant for decades. Like Lucille Ball, Bob entertained generations of audiences. When Bob wasn’t making content in Hollywood he traveled worldwide to entertain the troops. Countless people, including Lucille Ball’s own autobiography, said that Bob Hope was a fun guy to work with and he was never moody to his colleagues. It’s very sad that stuff like this will never be made again. Bob Hope and Lucille Ball were two members of the Greatest Generation. It was defined by frank, hard, dedicated workers. Who overcame the Twenties and ensuing Great Depression to serve in WW2. Who were responsible for pushing the Post War economic boom, who built a stable society and whom had integrity. Who were still beloved and cherished even long after their prime. Anyone who saw Bob Hope in the 1990’s can tell you this. They are sorely missed.

Hope and Ball two greats! Thank you DK!!!

That kid is too adorable!

Bob Hope would do the things we only dream of doing 😂

Shirley Temple who played this part in the original movie, "Little Miss Marker", was good but THIS is just incredible especially with this young actress whose first movie was this one. And of course, Bob, I got all the wise cracks and best lines, Hope and still, he is up staged by this little actress who is still around. Great movie!

Two Comedy Legends....An Amazing Instant Classic...

Thank you so much for showing this film, so nice to see class comedians that all the family can watch.

Bob Hope was my fave Brit comedian who moved to America.

I like these old movies better than anything made today. If only life turned out like in the fairy takes. 💞

Any movie with lucille ball is great great

Another movie I have not seen...sure beat drinking tonight.thank you

When I was a little kid i was not a sandwich or burger eater because I didn't like bread. I would get to order steak because dad would get what I couldn't eat. Seeing Sorrowful forking up that chunk of Martha Jane's steak brought back a 60 yo memory. Sometimes there wasn't any left for dad. I am a carnivore! These two were staples of my childhood. Bob Hope was ok for me in small doses but we all loved Lucy. How could we not?

First time I have ever seen this movie and what a wonderful delight it was. Bob Hope and Lucille Ball, two comedy legends teaming up with adorable Mary Jane Saunders for the perfect trio and a good-hearted movie. They don't make them like this anymore. Thanks. Joe S.

Thank. You. 🎉🎉🎉🎉 nice. Movie. 👌💯💥👍

Bob Hope has always been my favorite! Delightful all the way through. Thank you. 😃🤩🥰 What great picture quality too.

So Lucy CAN sing!!!!! I love Lucy! Such a different character from her in other films..nice..love Bob Hope too..Thank you!

Thank you for giving us a moral with movie with two high class actors. Only from the right Era can come a great movie.

Good flick, heart touching. Tku for post.

What a sweet film, thank you! Bawb Hope, quite young and handsome with lovely, clever Lucille Ball. That dear little girl, Martha and some great-looking horses there. Excellent!!!

_Don't let it happen again._ _Next time I'll lose my temper._

I enjoyed seeing this fun movie. Thank you for sharing it.

A very good comedy/drama film with Bob Hope, Lucille Ball, William Demarest and Bruce Cabot. My favorite character is "Once Over" Sam played by Tom Pedi. He would have made a good capo in 'The Godfather' film. I have not seen this classic in decades. Lucille Ball was one fantastic actress in feature films, but they were B-Movies, but she did say that she learned a lot just being in them and did helped her a lot at being better in her acting skills. The only problem that she had is she really couldn't sing, and her voice was dubbed over by other female singers in some of the films she was in that she portrayed as a singer like this one. Five Stars + and a thumbs up for this classic film.

Lovely movie. I can't get over, how much Kelsey Grammer, looks so much like, Bob Hope❤I wasn't born, when this movie was made, but I loved it❤❤I did grow up, watching Bob, Bing and Lucy🇦🇺

Thank u for putting this movie on RU-vid! I love Classic movies and Lucy!!

Such a delightful movie. Bob Hope and Lucille Ball make a good comedy team to.

I love Bob Hope. Thank you for the post.

Thank you for sharing this movie, I’m in my 70s and this brings back a lot of memories for me. I love this movie and two of the best comedians that graced the screen were Bob and Lucy, always going out of their way in entertaining the troops. This story was more of a serious story, but done well with a bit of humor in it as well. Love the horse being used for this film, and how it made a difference in her recovery. I really wish I knew who the little girl was, if it was Shirley Temple, I remember her more from earlier films than this one. My mother was a big fan of hers. It’s so beautiful not to hear or have all the cursing that is in today’s films. It actually doesn’t make the film better, but actually makes it worse, and takes away from the overall quality of the film itself. I’m sick and tired of hearing swearing words in films and if a movie has too much of it in it, I will actually walk out of theaters instead of watching it. This also goes for redundancy with sexual content and sexual overkill of sexual groin jokes and other material that degrades an otherwise good story. I look for good stories, good solid actors/actresses, good quality and substance in the film itself…if it doesn’t have this in them, I won’t watch them. One of my favorites right now is a foreign film called “Resurrection Ertugrul”, a Turkish film that has, for me, become a classic of historical significance and holds the same genre for me to that of the “Ben-Hur” film of the 1950s. It has a very strong historical story taken from various records of the early 1200s era, strong actors/actresses, and various battles and sword fights with the Byzantine empire, Mongolian invasion, Templar Knights, etc. It has qualities of faith, strength, courage, shows love without all the sexual overtones that is in today’s films, including NO vulgar language. Plus, also includes having 6 seasons with about 180 episodes in each season viewing time and lasting about an hour or two for each episode. For me, the quality and depth of this foreign series is very close to what Ben-Hur stood for. I have watched it many times from the beginning to the end of each season. I just wish films would go back to better quality made films than what I have been watching these days…none can hold a candle to the many films that made them classics of the past…that of quality and substance in storylines.

A delightful movie . What a clever sweet little girl .

Annette Warren (born July 11, 1922) is an American vocalizer and popular jazz and song stylist best known for dubbing the singing voices of such stars as Lucille Ball in Sorrowful Jones (1949) and Fancy Pants (1950), and Ava Gardner in the 1951 film version of Show Boat.

This was my first experience of Bob Hope and Lucille Ball.. It was a good surprise.. Thank you.

A lovely film , had me in tears a bit peeling onions . Bob and Lucille good together . Thanks. Dave

Thank you.

That was great! I grew up watching Bob Hope & absolutely love his style of comedy. His lines were always awesome. Thanks so much for posting & great quality too btw, both audio & video, amazing man! 🙏👍👌😊

Hope was a good, natural actor..

Annette Warren did the singing for Lucille Ball in this film.

This movie was based on a Damon Runyon story. It’s a remake of the 1934 movie “Little Miss Marker” starring Shirley Temple.

Classic comedy movie with two legends i wish films were still made like these ❤❤😂😂

Ooooo!! I did not expected to see Lucy! I love Lucy!

One superb movie. It makes me feel happy.

Thank you. A delightful movie.

She is absolutely adorable!

Wow..this was an awesome movie ..

Interesting to see Lucille Ball in a non-slapstick role and Bob Hope more downbeat than usual.

Awesome! two of the best!...😅

Films that encourage good morals ، rell I really loved it

Damon Runyon !!! Keep the snobs. An American one of a kind. Thanks

These were my Sunday morning favorites on tv. Thanks so much for this😊

Thanks so much! 😊

God bless Damon Runyon. 💗

This turned out to be quite a surprise! Until they got involved with the little girl it didn't hold much interest for me. Story started moving right along then. Got caught up in how all "4" of them could live happily ever after together. 3 + 🐎= 4 ❤

Thank you for sharing this wonderful movie 🎬 🎞 🎥

I love bob Hope always have always will

👍🏼 wonderful movie, thank you.🥰

Thanks for posting❤❤❤

36 minutes in. I got to turn this thing off I got stuff to do. I love this movie. I'll have to finish it later

❤ love 💕 this thanks for sharing

I ❤ Bob hope so much ❤❤😊

Bob Hope was in two versions of this and Walter Matthau was in another. This may be the best version.

Back when Hope was a funny Comedic actor. His persona was as a weak and scared guy who survives by his wits, not fisticuffs. Lucy was always funny and a natural physical Comedian. Her face and voice were here weapons. She was hilarious! I also enjoyed his Road pictures with his partner and foil Bing Crosby. It was so funny how they constantly insulted each other and tried to one up the other. A great comedic pairing. Martin and Lewis, Abbot and Costello and Laurel and Hardy. One straight man and one crazy fool as the instigator. That formula worked so well. Like the Buddy picture. 48 hrs and Rush Hour. People relate to duos better than one person. It’s always good to have someone to push off of or play against. The tension and camaraderie a duo creates is what makes it entertaining and fun to watch.

Thanks for this upload. What a sweet, funny movie. One of the rare occasions that I fully enjoyed Bob Hope, too. 😊

awesome movie ❤

Terrific jokes

That little girl is so cute

thanx4post

I've not seen this movie in ages

Clean and funny thank you 😊

Good movie and the little girl held her own😊 She lived into her 80's and died just a few years ago.

What a hilarious and adorable movie!

Loved this movie! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks so much for posting!

❤ I LOVE Lucy In This Role... PURE Genius... ☆☆*

Most enjoyable 😂😅🤣

Bob Hope lived to b 102. He treated his Mom well he grew up in poverty so did quite a few

Superb!! And perfect for the insurrection in 2023

This was both a funny and touching film. I enjoyed the story. 🙂

Three cheers for “Dreamy Joe!”

I apologize for being negative but this is what America used to be and sadly is no more… Strangely, I was never a fan of Lucille Ball, but I’ve seen every single movie and TV show not to mention visiting her private studio at universal. She was that impactful to me there was something about her that made my mother an Italian immigrant, feel comfortable in America.. You’ll never see another icon like Bob hope. For him to handle a marriage a career and selfless service to our military through the USO is unmatchable buy any clown that thinks they are movie stars today. Bob Hope was a true movie star these clowns today with all those computers think that their something special but they’re not they’re fake.

Lucy’s got some pipes!

Lucy was often dubbed but not in Dance, Girl Dance; Friendship song in Du Barry was a Lady; and Breezing Along with the Breeze in Long Long Trailer. Her schtick in I Love Lucy was she couldn't sing and couldn't dance - but she could do both. Even if actresses could sing ok they were often dubbed and men were not. Audrey Hepburn practiced to sing in "My Fair Lady," while she was allegedly pretty good, but was dubbed anyway. Thus, she did not win the Academy Award because of that, while Rex Harrison talked sang his songs and won the Academy Award for his part.

$4200 in 1949 is equivalent to $54315.71 today.

JUST A FANTASTIC FILM & i'm a critic I mean I'm hard on just about everything, this film has so many great lines, good script great acting by all, THIS IS A GREAT SURPRISE THANK YOU!! GOD BLESS BH LB & cast. & DK CLASSICS
