There's a short sequence with Bob Hope in Frank Tashlin's The Lemon Drop Kid (1951), that I always felt was just a tiny step away from Chaplin.
It takes place around a department store window at Christmas, and rather than detail it, I'll suggest that you see it yourselves, as it's worth the trouble.
If Hope doing Damon Runyon, sounds unusual, know that it's full-on comedy.
And it works.
With a superb cast, Kino Lorber's new Blu-ray is a winner on all fronts.
Original aspect ratio of 1.37, misidentified on the jacket at 1.33, appears glorious, and the imagery within, with full grain, and generally superb black levels and shadow detail, all work beautifully.
