The Paleface

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the better-known Bob Hope film, for the Buster Keaton film of this name see The Paleface (Buster Keaton).

The Paleface is a 1948 film.

It is a comedy western starring Bob Hope as "Painless Potter," a dentist of doubtful competence, and Jane Russell as Calamity Jane. In the film Hope sings the song Buttons and Bows, which became his greatest hit by far when it came to record sales.

Some consider the 1952 sequel, Son of Paleface, also starring Bob Hope and Jane Russell, to be a superior film.

In 1967, actor Don Knotts remade the film as The Shakiest Gun in the West.
