Where There's Life is a 1947 American thriller comedy film directed by Sidney Lanfield.[2][3] The film's title derives from a line in Don Quixote ("Where there's life, there's hope") as a play on the name of its star, Bob Hope. Also in the cast are Signe Hasso, William Bendix, and George Coulouris.
