Robert Cummings was a handsome movie star of the late 1930's through to the early 50's appearing in all sorts of roles, with some of the screens biggest female co-stars, and in some big films like 'Kings Row', 'Dial M For Murder', 'The Lost Moment' etc. He was one of the first big screen stars to go into television, and finally became a 'Superstar' of that medium, his forte was always comedy, and he could play it with the best of them. Billing himself as just Bob Cummings from 'The Bob Cummings Show' on, as the aforementioned reviews say, it was a trailblazer in many ways for it's time, and a pity to date, it's never been released officially as a series on DVD. To me, he was even funnier in his very first series, 'My Hero' where he played a more 'bumbling' character, which he could do with great finesse, I just wish there was someone as good at playing comedy today!
