Road to Bali Reviews
The Boys Are Back
This road picture is filled with a lot of laughs, and the boys are back in good form. The previous road picture, "The Road To Rio" was terrible (for some reason), but this one sees Bing and Bob having fun again.
The boys are older here (about 51) and it is more obvious with Bing. And, for the first time, Bob seems to have the upper hand (in that competition of theirs) as he throws some pretty good zingers at Bing.
The pace of this road picture is pretty good ... and things really get rolling once they (Bob, Bing, and Dottie) are on the boat, ready to send Bob down into the water. The funny lines come one after another (and the quality is pretty high), and it doesn't stop ... until they are captured by the natives ... and then it gets pretty dull, but that is near the end anyway.
My rating list of all seven road pictures goes like this:
1. Utopia
2. Zanzibar
3. Bali
4. Singapore
5. Morocco
6. Hong Kong
7. Rio
But there is a lot of fun to be had watching the first five. I'm glad we have them.
What's All the Laughing About?
If you are of my generation or younger (less than thirty), when you view Bob Hope on television you might ask, "What's all the laughing about?" After all, many of us were just tots or not born when Hope was doing his television specials, and certianly not around for his grand cinema days.
Nevertheless, that doesn't mean we should be cheated! Take a voyage with Bob Hope and the equally talented Bing Crosby as they venture on the Road to Bali with the beautiful and talented Dorothy Lamour. You find yourself laughing at the same quick jabs and outlandish imagines that your parents and grandparents enjoyed in crowded theaters.
Not unlike most films of the day, this movie doesn't merely have humor, but several respectable musical numbers by all three stars.
Take a road trip soon with some of the brightest stars in the history of Hollywood.
