I Never Left Home; Bob Hope's Own Story of His Trip Abroad
By Bob HopeI Never Left Home is a giant omelet consisting of all the eggs Bob Hope laid from London to Bizerte. It is the story of hundreds of thousands of our fighting men in the combat areas, who never quailed in front of enemy guns or dive bombers, and then were confronted by Hope and his troupe. It is the story of the mad, concerted enthusiasm of thousands of soldiers every time they saw Bob Hope step to a loudspeaker--and announce that Frances Langford was going to sing a song.
Note in a different key: For those literal folk who want to know what I Never Left Home is about, it's the story of Bob Hope's journey among our armed forces, during which he has traveled more than 80,000 miles and played before more than half the entire army.
It is composed of about three-fourths straight Hope humor and one-fourth extremely moving tribute to our soldiers. It is a personal adventure story and a Hope's eye view of the war, told by America's Number One entertainer.
