| "Rhythm Romance" is the television title for the 1939 Bob Hope comedy "Some Like It Hot" (the change was made to avoid confusion with the 1959 Billy Wilder film of the same name). Hope plays a penny-ante carnival concessionaire with both eyes on the Main Chance. Exploiting the musical talents of his girl friend (Shirley Ross), Hope tries to bankroll a big-time stage show. The prospect of riches goes to Hope's head and loses him his girl, but the two are reunited before the film's 64 minutes run out. Gene plays himself and, with his early band, is featured predominantly in the film. | |||
