Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAt one point, Golda (Phyllis Diller) tells Henry (Bob Hope), "Boy, did you get a wrong number!" In 1966 Diller and Hope appeared in Boy, Did I Get a Wrong Number! (1966).
- GoofsWhen Dimsdale is standing and talking to his girlfriend in the living room of the house he and the children are hiding in, you can see all the children in the backyard playing. The dining room is also visible and you can see a man in a dark suit sitting at the dining room table. The man is obviously not a part of the movie.
- Quotes
Henry Dimsdale: Hey, Marty! What are you doin' here at this hour? Your wife left you.
Marty: Nothing like that. This is BAD news.

Featured review
2nd Hope/Diller comedy better than their 1st, but that's faint praise
Bob Hope, Phyllis Diller and director George Marshall("Monsieur Beaucaire", "Fancy Pants") reunited for their second film as a team after the abysmal "Boy, Did I Get A Wrong Number!" "Eight on the Lam" is definitely an improvement over their first film together but that's not saying much. "Lam"'s harmless enough and watchable in a "Brady Bunch"/"Yours, Mine and Ours" kind of way if you catch it on a late night TV movie run. But it's never really "good" in the way Hope's best comedies were and still are. I recommend watching a true Hope classic like 1943's "They Got Me Covered" or 1951's "My Favorite Spy" instead.
Best part of "Eight on the Lam": the novelty value of seeing 2 classic era James Bond girls, Jill St. John alias Tiffany Case from 1971's "Diamonds Are Forever" and Shirley Eaton a.k.a. Jill Masterson the "Golden Girl" from 1964's "Goldfinger", in the same film and even briefly in the same scene! Hope obviously exercised his producer power by casting Miss Eaton as his devoted love interest and she is given a decent amount of on-screen time.
Bottom line: ** out of ****, mainly for Shirley and Jill.
