The Road to Bali / On the Road to Hollywood Reviews
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.
A Good Road Movie,A Great DVD
From 1940 to 1962, Bing Crosby and Bob Hope made seven riotous road movies, and "The Road To Bali" is the sixth in the series. Even though Bing and Bob were both 49 years old, and Dorothy Lamour was 38 when the movie was made, for the most part they walk sprightly down this road. This movie also marks the only road movie made in color, and there are guest stars galore in this film like:Bob Crosby,Humphrey Bogart, and Jane Rusell among others. As usual, the story deals with some kinf of treasures and bad guys, and of course Bob does not get the girl. However, the jokes and laughs are almost as funny today as they were almost fifty years ago.
This DVD edition is of pretty good quality even though it is a bargain issue. The added enjoyment is the short "The Road To Hollywood" which features shorts from Bing Crosby's early days with Mack Sennett (around the 1929 to 1931 period). Even though these shorts are prehistoric, the quality is as good as I have seen them. It is also great to see the young Bing Crosby emerge as a young superstar. So, I do recommend this DVD issue, because with Bing Crosby and Bob Hope they will have you on the road to laughter...
