Sorrowful Jones 1949
Directed by Sidney Lanfield | Starring: Bob Hope, William Demarest, Bruce Cabot, Lucille Ball
A young girl is left with the notoriously cheap Sorrowful Jones as a marker for a bet. When her father doesn't return, he learns that taking care of a child interferes with his free-wheeling lifestyle. Sorrowful must also evade crooked gangsters and indulge in a bit of horse-thieving.
