I'd love to trade for Bob Hope's last movie. 1/27/1986 TV movie.

A Masterpiece of Murder

An over-the-hill gumshoe reluctantly teams with worldly retired master thief to solve a string of art thefts and murders.

TCM
Bob Hope, in his first made-for-TV movie as well as his first starring film in over a dozen years, teamed with veteran actor Don Ameche, playing a down-on-his-luck gumshoe and a wealthy retired master thief, respectively, to solve a string of art thefts and murders involving a stellar (by TV standards) guest cast. Among the earlier titles for this one were "A Nice, Pleasant, Deadly Weekend in Palm Springs" and then simply "A Nice, Pleasant, Deadly Weekend" (probably because the production was moved lock, stock, and suspects to Vancouver).

Bob Hope makes his first starring film appearance in 14 years.
Hope stars as a seedy private eye, hoping to get one last good case before calling it quits. Don Ameche, a retired art thief reduced to working as a chauffeur, teams with his old friend Hope to solve the mystery of a missing painting. The unknown criminal has a murderous streak, resulting in a close calls for the 83-year-old hero.

Stars Bob Hope, Don Ameche, Jayne Meadows, Yvonne De Carlo, Anne Francis, Stella Stevens, Frank Gorshin and Jamie Farr.

I have it if your still looking for it, from the original airing with original opening promo/original commercials. Good quality, a few tracking lines.
