Road To Bali (1952) - Bob Hope, Bing Crosby and  Dorothy Lamour   I recently watched The Road To Eldorado recently and decided to watch some of the Hope/Crosby Road pictures that inspired it. Road To Bali fell into the public domain so it’s watchable on Prime Video and YouTube. There’s currently a copy of Road To Rio on YouTube that was posted in 2016. How long it lasts there is anyone’s guess. I have them all on DVD but didn’t feel like digging for them. The first four are currently owned by Universal so may or may not end up on Peacock. These movies are comedies, adventure films and musicals. There is singing and dancing in all of them. And really, these Paramount musicals from the 30s and 40s, along with the Busby Burkley musicals from the same era, are really the only musicals I want to watch. Star Spangled Rhythm that is a Double Feature DVD with My Favorite Blonde, is a SUPER fun musical. “A Sweater, A Sarong, And A Peek-A-Boo Bang” is hilarious.   In this one Bob Hope fights an Octopus and an Alligator.    This is a Hollywood movie that recreates the Hollywood version of Bali and other South Pacific locations and exploits/celebrates the culture of “exotic” places. And that sort of thing probably won’t be enjoyed by everyone.    Road to Singapore (1940) Road to Zanzibar (1941) Road to Morocco (1942) Road to Utopia (1946) Road to Rio (1947) Road to Bali (1952) The Road to Hong Kong (1962)     #bobhope #bingcrosby #bobhopeandbingcrosby #dorothylamour #roadpictures #roadmovies #roadto #roadtoeldorado #roadtobali #roadtorio #roadtozanzibar #roadtomorocco #roadtozanzibar #roadtosingapore #roadtomorocco #roadtohongkong #paramountmusicals #musicals #singinganddancing #alligators #gators #octopus #cephalopods #cephalopds #junglemovies #southpacific  #asweaterasarongandapeekaboobang (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-03ChsBeo_/?igshid=1gbsfctxkmavj
