The Paleface (1948 film)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the Buster Keaton film, see The Paleface (1922 film).
The Paleface is a 1948 comedy western film directed by Norman Z. McLeod and 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. The song also won the Academy Award for Best Song that year.
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.
