    Cancel My Reservation is a 1972 comedy film starring Bob Hope and Eva Marie Saint. It was Bob Hope's last leading role in a film after beginning his screen career in 1938. The film was an attempt by Hope to take on a dramatic role rather than a comedic one. The plot involves Hope's character Dan Bartlett retreating to his ranch after difficulties with his wife and TV co-star. Dan becomes a suspect when a body is found in his car trunk. He is later taken hostage along with his wife but they are rescued and renew their love. The film was not successful and received poor reviews.
