PRODUCT INFORMATION
The cheeky charm of Bob Hope (My Favorite Blonde, My Favorite Brunette) meets the bombshell brilliance of Hedy Lamarr (Samson and Delilah, The Female Animal) in this sly spy farce! While on his way to Tangier to purchase a microfilm containing important war secrets, foreign spy Eric Augustine (Hope) is wounded by the authorities and hospitalized. Burlesque comedian Peanuts White (also Hope), a dead ringer for Augustine, is recruited by the government to take over Augustine’s mission. Peanuts is briefed in the role of the suave and romantic Augustine, dressed to look exactly like him and is thrust into the world of espionage and international intrigue! In Tangier, he meets—and falls for—the irresistible but dangerous Lily Dalbray (Lamarr), Augustine’s sweetheart, who’s now in cahoots with the mastermind of the spy ring (Francis L. Sullivan, The Mystery of Edwin Drood). Just like Hope’s previous “My Favorite” forays, My Favorite Spy parodies classic espionage genre pictures with panache! Directed by the great Norman Z. McLeod (Road to Rio, The Paleface) and featuring legendary Hollywood “bad guys” Mike Mazurki (Dark City) and Marc Lawrence (Cloak and Dagger).

Shipping
No, we only ship inside the US
Most orders for in-stock items take less than 24 hours to ship (may take longer if you place an order over the weekend). Pre-orders are shipped as soon as the product arrives. International pre-orders may not come in before the street date. This is especially true with Australian pre-orders.
We only use USPS for all shipments. If there is an issue after your order ships you will need to contact your local post office.
Product
All items that come with a slipcover will say so in the product page.
Pre-orders will not say WITH SLIPCOVER until the product comes in.
Slipcovers are not guaranteed to be in mint condition.
If you can order it, it's either in stock or a pre-order. If an item is out of stock you will not be able to add it to your cart. It's rare but our inventory may not be correct. So in some cases an item may have to be shipped separately.
