Bob Hope did it, too, in his movies - broke the 4th wall.
“Bob Hope did it, too, in his movies - broke the 4th wall.”
There was a “Road Picture” Bob did with Bing Crosby where at the end of the film the cast is floating on a raft, lost at sea .. . cut to a close up of Bob going insane, “NO food .. . no water .. . We’re gonna DIE .. . we’re gonna DIE !”
Camera pulls back to a wide shot of the raft with the skyline of Manhattan in the background. Crosby tells Hope to relax - they’re saved ! Hope snaps, “I FINALLY get a decent line in this picture and YOU louse it up for me !”
