Bob Hope and Lucille Ball play friends who get on each others nerves but consider having an affair in the romantic comedy “The Facts of Life.” This project has a more serious tone than most of Hope’s or Ball’s movies, capably directed by Melvin Frank, who co-wrote the script with Norman Panama.
Co-stars include Ruth Hussey, Don DeFore, Louis Nye, Philip Ober, Marianne Stewart, and Hollis Irving. The watchable motion picture “The Facts of Life” was successful at the box office for producer Norman Panama and United Artists. It was awarded one Oscar for Best Costume Design for Edith Head and Edward Stevenson. Other Lucille Ball-Bob Hope collaborations include “Sorrowful Jones” (1949), “Fancy Pants” (1950), and “Critic’s Choice” (1963).
