BOB & VIRGINIA STORM THE SEAS OF LAUGHTER, 19 March 2003
10/10
Author: RugerMini14 from Weehawken, NJ

Bob Hope's classic Princess & the Pirate is a classic in so many ways, but the main thing is it's damn funny, and one line always comes to mind when I think of this movie, V. Mayo to Bob Hope: Why don't you die like a man, and Bob replies, because I'd rather live like a woman!
